Why are we spending money? Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, November 10, 2024. This is your award-winning Ghibba Nation Media assassination episode 1711. This is No Agenda. Dusting off the DMZ and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas whole country, right here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've all concluded that the worst television show in the history of television is the Masked Singer. I'm John C. DeVorek. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Well, I'm glad you prepped that one. You don't actually watch that drivel, do you?

I can't watch it. Here's, let me give my imitation of the show. Here's that Chinese gay guy Oh my god, here is Jenny McCarthy. Oh my god And here's the other person that's on the show. Oh my god. That's it. That's the show How come these people never say oh my Satan. It's always interesting to me Well, they would they wouldn't let that happen. No, they wouldn't let that happen. Hey, friend of the show checked in.

As you know, the mainstream media is calling this the podcast election. It is the podcast election. It was go podcasting and friend of the show checks in Nigel Farage. A big shout out for Adam Curry and John C. Drorak. I'll tell you what, the podcast world is really happening. There's of course is no agenda. And we've just had the podcast election

that probably in the end is what got Trump over the line. And unlike legacy media, these guys present heavy stuff, very, very light and very, very accessible. And yeah, good luck guys, because I tell you what, everything is changing so blooming quickly it is amazing the power of the podcast how about that huh yeah who's John C de Borac well that's just how he pronounced it this was producer Paul in the Netherlands hopped on Cameo and paid for Nigel Farage to do that for us. I don't want to make of it. I think that, thanks Paul.

Yeah. I wonder if it has any subconscious effect on Nigel Farage where he'll remember the No Agenda Show. Oh yeah. He'll just blurt it out in some situation. He'll be donating. He'll be donating. Yeah, right.

He'll be donating. I think this is great. We should have all kinds of friends of the show. I still want Kenny G, but he's a high ticket item. No, he's too expensive. Buys all his albums 10 fold over and for less money. And I think in future... Will you get an impersonator? No, no, I like the real deal. It's video by the way. I'm going to post it on the socials. There's video of Faraj doing this.

Oh good, I can repost it. I'm going to tweet it. Oh yeah, yeah you should tweet that baby. I think it's great. We need all kinds of friends of the show. Since you can buy them for $50. Yes, a new FOS segment. Friend of the show.

It's the best ever. Let me just stick with the podcast selection so we can get it out of the way. And by the way, I'm with you that that may be a little bit overblown. But the more the mainstream media talks about it. Overblown. To say the least.

The more M5M talks about it, the more true it becomes. That's what's great about it. Overblown. To say the least. The more M5M talks about it, the more true it becomes. That's what's great about it. This is, yeah, that's how it works. I like it. They're digging their own grave. So here's CBC on the podcast election with a fabulous American lady from Vox. Rebecca Jennings is a senior correspondent covering online culture for Vox. Rebecca, good morning.

Good morning. We heard Dana White name some names there. When we are talking about these podcasters and influencers who are shaking up the political ecosystem, who are the big players? Isn't this great? This is so good. We're shaking things up. Shaking it up, baby.

Yeah. I think they kind of named them, right? It's like Joe Rogan, obviously, like the king of this kind of content that appeals to young men who are, you know, just asking questions and are curious about, you know, alternative media. And I have to stop because you will hear this lady do an analysis. I know more women that listen to the Joe Rogan podcast than I do men. She is so wrong about this. This is the stereotyping, this is bad journalism.

Yeah, there you go. That's what we're looking for. That's the word I'm looking for. That's the word bad journalism. Yovon, he's a podcaster, former reality star, just like kind of a comedian guy. Aiden Ross is a Twitch streamer. The Nelk Boys are these kind of YouTube pranksters. They're very similar to the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul, who people are probably

also familiar with. They're very into it. Oh my God. Oh my God. Local fry. I think the more she talks crap, the more the fry gets turned up in her case. They're very similar to the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul, who people are probably also familiar with. They're very similar to like the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul, who people are probably also familiar with. They're very into like boxing and pranking and these kind of just like outlandish. Pranking? What's happening here is, so she's from Vox, she's a journalist, she's professional,

she knows what she's talking about. Her next stop is NPR Yeah So we have to discredit all of this Theo von eyes is a comedian Yeah, Joe Rohn just a bit of the young guys fighters mushrooms a bit and They've never watched they've never watched any serious discussion that any of these pranksters have had With anybody of any stature they they this is the bias that exists never watched any serious discussion that any of these pranksters have had with anybody

of any stature. This is the bias that exists amongst people who were just biased and never have even decided to have a look. When you're talking to, okay, not my, just an example, but you're talking to, what's his face from the two brothers with the guy who has the podcast with Heather. Oh, Weinstein. Yeah, Weinstein. That's not a prankster episode. Joe Rogan has scientists and psychologists and all kinds of people on the show. Is that pranking fighting nonsense? This woman has never even watched the Joe Rogan or Theo von or any of these shows.

Um, boxing and Theo by the way, Theo Von's about as far away from pranksterism or even comedy that you can get. Well, he, he is a standup comic, but the show is not about standup comedy. It's just it's it's baffling. Very into like boxing. Oh my gosh, she's going to her voice is going to crack. And pranking and these kind of just like outlandish distasteful videos where where they kind of like poke back at mainstream culture.

How popular I mean, Joe Rogan is the most popular podcaster in the world. Beyond that, how popular are these people? I love this. There's no actual factual chart of numbers that people can compare one to the other. Maybe advertising companies have some kind of idea, but still there's no one place. There's no Nielsen's for podcasting, but still there's no one place. There's no Nielsen's for podcasting, but okay, Vox later. I mean, these are all really, really, really recognizable faces to most young people. They are influencers with millions and millions of followers on many different platforms. They are like kind of omnipresent online figures.

So yeah, they're very popular, but I think to a lot of people that are not in those same algorithms, like older people or women, they might have no idea who these people are. And because your algorithm looks completely different. How do we get into these algorithms? We got to slip into someone's algorithm. This has nothing to do with... What is she talking about? It has nothing to do with algorithms. You're like, oh, they're only popular because they're in the algorithm to slip into someone's algorithm. This has nothing to do with... What is she talking about? It has nothing to do with algorithms.

You're like, oh, they're only popular because they're in the algorithms, slipping into old people that very... You're an old person. So she's confusing TikTok with YouTube, with podcasters, with... She doesn't know... So in other words, just to summarize, she doesn't know what she's talking about. Correct. Yet, she is brought on what she's talking about. Correct. Yet, she is brought on as the expert.

On CBC, no less. What is it that ties them together? Because they're all doing different things, right? Like the material... What just happened there? What happened? He lost it. What is it that ties them together? Because they're all doing different things, right? Like the... Joe Rogan is living in his head rent free right now.

The material that they are producing, the content they're producing is not the same across the board. Yeah, totally. I think what ties them together is that these are young men, with the exception of Joe Rogan, who are like, they're often in groups of men and they're just like having fun together. And I think that whole is really... What? Hold on a second, stop it. So she's just completely discounting Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper, Sophia

with an F and the, and I won't say, I use the phrase, but a ton load of female podcasters that talk about sex mostly or other things. There's a ton of them, tons. Tons. She has that, she does recognize it's all a bunch of young guys, except for old man Joe Rogan. Old man Joe, he's the exception. Old Joe. Old Joe.

In groups of men, and they're just like having fun together. And I think that pull is really, really strong for a lot of men who feel kind of lonely and left behind. Oh, they're lonely and left behind. Yeah. They feel lonely. I'm so lonely.

I need to watch Joe Rogan. I'm left behind. For a lot of men who feel kind of lonely and left behind. And they are not explicitly political people. I think a lot of those men would kind of not really consider themselves very political, with the exception of like their Trump endorsements. But like, mostly they make content that's about, you know, video games or sports or pop culture, anything like outside of- No, that's, that's your publication, young lady.

That's Vox. That's all Vox does. What is this nonsense of video game, pop culture? Now there's nothing any- maybe old man Joe. Video games or sports or pop culture or anything like outside of politics. But then, you know, these kind of issues like leak into their content. Is the audience not exclusively men, but is it mostly men? There was polling that was done before the election and people are, you know,

kind of sifting through the details of the exit polls showing that men and women 18 to 24 were more likely to identify as conservative. Are women listening to those podcasts in numbers? Yeah, I think it's possible, but I think generally, with at least these kind of guys, these are very- Wait, wait. What kind of reporting is this?

I don't know. I think it's possible. I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's young boys who feel lonely, but it's possible that you think it's women. I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's young boys who feel lonely, but it's possible that you think it's limited. I don't know. Yeah, I think it's possible. But I think generally with at least these kind of guys, these are very much targeting

teen boys and men in their 20s. This is kind of the demographic that Trump like pretty like targeted what with his media campaign when he went on all these podcasts and and and YouTube shows where you know, he talked to these kind of guys that like are reaching this audience that the mainstream media isn't is that is that you're not reaching anybody. Okay, so this is a complete is it is as though she's a spook misdirecting everybody.

This whole thing that everything she said was bull crap. I hadn't thought about that. Well, yeah, I know. Yeah. No idea. Here's, um, so there's a very famous, uh, YouTuber, not the same as a podcaster. I need to point this out. He's not in the podcast app.

He doesn't have an RSS feed. He's a YouTuber. A YouTuber. A YouTuber. David Pakman has the three, four... He's been around. Yeah, three, four million subscribers. He used to be on... Where's David Pakman? It used to be the David Pakman show.

It used to be one of his... It's the David Pakman show. That's his show. And it used to be shown on one of the cable channels. Oh, really? He's a young guy, relatively young guy. It's the David Pakman show. That's his show. And it used to be shown on one of the cable channels. Oh really? He's a young guy, relatively young guy. It was like there was a cable channel that had all this, it just had a bunch of weird stuff,

what we wanted to do and still do, by the way. I was going to say, it's what our idea was. It's our idea. It's our idea. And they had David Pakman was on this network. And he was just, you know, it was an okay guy. He's a left-wing guy. Yeah he's totally left-wing. His show followed Amy Goodman and Tom Thumb Hartman was another one. On the same network. Oh what was that network again? That wasn't Air America was it? No,

no it was like free it was it was like free speech TV or something like that. Was that on Pluto? No, no, this was on, I saw it, I had it on a cable system. I think it was on Dish, Dish. And it was, I think it was called, I think it was free speech TV, FSTV. And it was, it was running during our early episodes of No Agenda, probably 12 years ago.

Oh, okay. That's a long time. I remember getting clips of Thalm Hartman all the time, because he would, at one point... What happened to Thalm? What happened to Thalm? He's on the radio still. Yeah, okay. But he was, at one point, this was about, again, 12 years ago, he was doing the daily smog report with the particular parts per million in the atmosphere in different cities as though this was a weather report.

Well, we're going to die. I'm going to die. Well, not Thon, but David Pakman, and this is very telling. So we have the rise of the podcasters, old Joe, and prankster Theo. Meanwhile, bad things are happening over in lefty YouTube land. Oh, Paul Joe and Prankster Theo. Meanwhile, bad things are happening over in lefty YouTube land. I'm going to tell you something that is terrifying me. Terrifying.

I always try to come here and put a positive face on everything, but there is something going on that is terrifying me. When I woke up this morning, we had lost 5,000 YouTube subscribers compared to where we were last night. Now, the first thing I thought was, is this a glitch? We've been on YouTube for 15 years or something like that. And subscribers always just go up. They just never go down. They go up.

Is something wrong with my channel? Is someone attacking my channel? What's going on? So I started texting. So now I understand what is going on. It's terrifying, but it is happening. A lot of people are checking out. I heard anecdotally from a couple dozen people who said, you know David, I just can't do it anymore. I just can't do it. I'm checking out. I'm out. And the reason that this is terrifying, not only because it puts everybody in left-wing

media's livelihoods at stake and at risk, it terrifies me because our instinct is the opposite of what the right does, and we will get crushed if this is the way we respond to a defeat. They're running away. They're giving up. They're capitulating. This doesn't sound right. Well he called a... Let me just throw this at you.

I'm a subscriber to some, something or other, and I just stopped listening to it. I don't go unsubscribe to a YouTube channel. I've never done that. Well, that's the rage quit mentality. Uh, you know, it was like, well, you know, because I'm sure I never watched David Pakman, but I'm sure he was telling them that Kamala is going to win and she's fantastic. And he also mentioned that this was happening across the board. He texted a whole bunch of his other liberal progressive YouTubers. Generally speaking, there's a bot filter that there's a sweep of bots that they YouTube, Twitter, everybody does this.

He suggested this and he said but a lot of the subscribers were paying subscribers. These days you can join on YouTube and then you can pay in X amount and so you get it without commercials and that's for that show specifically. He said he lost those as well. So these were not just bots that it for that show specifically. He said he lost those as well. So these were not just bots that it wasn't a sweep. It's a very long episode. This is why I cut it out to get the headline. But it's not that they're leaving. Good. Hey, before I forget. So on the last episode, I said the future of media is hyper local and people should,

if you want to do a podcast, don't try to be like old Joe would just do a podcast for your town. Holy smokes. I have over 50 people saying, give me the primer. How do I do it? How do I get started? I've never had that kind of response to anything. Well, maybe it's got the thing half written so you can just take it over. Well I

actually wrote something. I wrote something. I wrote something. You wrote something. I wrote something. Yeah I'll send it over to Mimi. We should prepare notes. We'll crank something out with it. We'll have it done in 30 days. As long as I'm not doing it. Another no agenda promise. Where's our whiskey? Hey I want to give you some props, like big props for correctly analyzing the situation. I need to play one clip before it and then I'm just going to shower you with props, you know, stage props, all kinds of lovely props, big beautiful props, props. And I'll just play this very quick clip because there's a lot of talk about Pelosi and what her role was because everyone's trying to blame everybody else. So, you know, what was her

role? Who did what? And this is a very kind of chop job 50 second clip of CBS. I've never shared any conversations with the president of the United States publicly, no. It's said that he's furious at you, is he? Well, he knows that I love him very much. I understand that you don't want to own this, but it is so well reported that you were the leader of a pressure campaign. What? I wasn't a leader of any pressure. Let me say things that I didn't do. I didn't call one person.

I never called anybody. No, they called you. What I'm saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be. And I said that such a consequential president of the United States, a

Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States, want to know what comes next. He said he belongs up there. Lincoln and Joe Biden. So Pelosi's out there. Everyone said, no, I had nothing to do with this. No, no, I didn't call anybody.

They might have called me, but I didn't call anybody. And by the way, he should be on Mount Rushmore to shut him up because, you know, he's a bit. We got to cut Joe down. He's talking too much. Now to your theory about what happened with Biden and Harris in 20 seconds, go. Yeah, Biden was being forced to quit.

He didn't want to at first, but you had the insiders, namely Pelosi and Schumer and probably some others. And then you had the outsiders, Axelrod and Carville, and they were attacking from outside. And this was going on even immediately after the the debate Axelrod and Carville were just all over these MSNBC CNN telling about how he's got to go, he's got to quit, he's got to go, he's got to quit. So the pressure was all over Joe. Joe being a, as some people would say, still sharp as a tack underneath his kind of mental disabilities. And he decided to throw a wrench in the works and said,

okay, you're going to do that to me? I'm endorsing Kamala Harris. I quit and I'm endorsing Kamala Harris. He put her right in play immediately. And knowing that the Democrats were so caught up in identity politics and she was a woman of color and she was South Asian and black and a female, they couldn't say no to her. So they had to,

especially after bitching and moaning how she was the worst vice president ever. And they all did that. Uh, they, they, they threw her into the fray and they had to change gears and scramble around and make her the candidate. She could have refused to do it, but she didn't. John Morgan is a bundler for the Democrat party, which means he. Yeah, the lawyer in Florida, the lawyer in Florida, good friends with Joe. And he was interviewed locally and listened to this. Kamala Harris ended up taking over for Joe Biden.

I've seen you on Twitter. Joe Biden's a friend of yours. I know you guys have the same breed of dogs and you've hung out. Okay. So, but you were not a fan of how the Democrats handled pushing Joe out. But you said at the end of the day, you called it Jojitsu, the way it ended up. And I love that. Explain that. Jojitsu, Joe didn't want to go. Joe's still pissed that he's gone. Joe is pissed and I'll show you on my phone. I talked to her yesterday for an hour and a half. Joe's pissed at Nancy Pelosi because he saw her as the reason. And Joe

said, you know what? I don't think Nancy Pelosi wants Harris, so guess what? Here you go. Oh, really? That's what I think. You're just going off opinion here. Sorta. Sorta. Factual opinions.

I like that. I'm going to use that. Everything's based opinions. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It's so intriguing and it's just so interesting. Because he did it in a fit. He did it in a fit. He did it in a fit. Oh my gosh. It's so intriguing and it's just so interesting. He did it in a fit. He did it on a Sunday morning. He did it in a fit.

And then he— It's like, here, take it. Yes. But he didn't mean it. He was mad. But he knew, listen, if he didn't do it, she was going to release—they were going to release 100 congress men and women that were going to say drop out. That we're all going to go against them.

Look, she told Mike Donilon, she said, put Mike Donilon on the phone. That's his speech guy. And she said, your numbers are wrong. Don't forget, these people around him, money for them. Mike Donilon had a huge payout coming for the ad buy. Anita Dunn was moving in and out of the White House. Her husband was a lawyer. Steve Reschetti's brother is a lobbyist. The gravy train ended that day for all those people. Just boom.

There are a lot of angry people right now. But look, we couldn't. Do you think he would have lost though? Yes. Okay. So at the end of the day, you're kind of glad that he did what he did. He had to. As James Carville said, that debate, it's like seeing your grandmother naked. There you go. All kudos to you. You nailed it. Yeah, it was so hard. Well, I mean, you heard these hosts. What?

What? It surprises me that anyone's surprised, shocked by this. Yeah. All they have to do is follow the media itself. The media was on her case about getting rid of her for the second Joe Biden term. Let's get rid of Kamala. She's a weak link. And everybody was on board with that.

And then all of a sudden she's the candidate. Now she's great. What? How does that work? That's something's wrong. Isn't that fantastic? I love it. I want to talk about some more Trump stuff, but can we do a foundational clip here? This is the Trump rap NPR. Hold on a second. Yes, here we go.

President-elect Donald Trump has won both Arizona, a state Joe Biden won in 2020, and Nevada, according to race calls from the Associated Press. For Nevada, it's the first time in 20 years the state elected a Republican candidate as president, and for Trump it's a sweep of all seven swing states. That brings his electoral vote count to 312, with 226 for Vice President Harris. Next week, Trump meets with President Biden at the White House. Meanwhile, with his second administration months away, and Beers-Ron Elving has more on what his first priorities in office could be. Beers-Ron Elving, Former U.S. Secretary of State for the United States of America The tax cuts that were his big legislative achievement in 2017 have to be renewed next

year. He'll move quickly on that package. Good news for many of his major backers, as the cuts are heavily weighted to the upper income tier. He may also move fast to begin his big tariff regime against China and others. In essence, these are taxes on imports that may well be passed on to consumers. But Trump thinks they will bring jobs back to the US. Okay. Well, you know, they've been promoting this tax cut thing as somehow, you know, I mean, they did it originally

that the tax cut did benefit everybody. Oh, definitely. But they keep promoting it as the rich tax cut for the rich when it's not. Well, but that's what you do. They're staying on message and they've stayed on message for this since 2015. And I think it's annoying and I keep hearing it as bothersome. But let's go to part two of this and wrap this. This is the foundation for any other discussions. And as questions mount about what the next Trump presidency will look like for US relations in

rest of parts of the Middle East, focus is also being drawn to Trump's business ties with Gulf states. If here's Ayah Petraoui. Here we go. Trump has personal connections with Gulf Arab rulers. Oh no! And his brand is emblazoned on golf courses and real estate projects across the Gulf, including here in Dubai. But on policy, there are questions on whether he'll be willing or able to end Israel's war in Gaza that's killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced the population. And if he'll pile pressure on Iran, as he did his first term, director of the Gulf International Forum, Daniyat Thaffer says Gulf Arab states have ties with Iran now and are focused on growing their economies.

So the maximalist policies of Trump, which he applied during his first term, especially when it comes to Iran, may not be as appealing to the Gulf states. She says they'd prefer de-escalation. That's where we stand. Well then let me do a foundational clip of the M5M just before the election, just so we're reminded. What would a second Donald Trump term look like? Well he cannot be the next president. People would get legitimately elected and then they would try to do away with elections

and do away with opposition and do away with opposition and do away with a free press. And you could see it in countries where Hitler was duly elected. A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler. A lot of these people that are talking about literal or figurative or whatever the hell they're saying. You're gonna look like idiots because he will do, he will get away with, he will imprison, he will execute whoever is allowed. Leads me to think there is a coming massive crisis that's going to occur on November 5th. Is promising to be a dictator for a day. He is going to really, he runs the risk of really dismantling and greatly incapacitating the Department of Justice and the FBI.

It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated. Eliminated! Eliminate him! Eliminate him! Okay, there you go. Now, yeah, well that reminds me, since we're going to do a clip showdown, how about this? So here's the one that everyone's passing around. Well, actually, let's wait for that one. This one, everyone's passing around. This is the Polly Tsai professor, and they clipped her and

they retweeted her and she's all over the place. And this is her before the election, does a gloating. This is the clip's called pre-gloat. She's gloating yes she's gloating about how you know she did she's an expert mm-hmm and she got into an argument with a clerk and was this Arlene dr. Arlene is that who this is is that what yeah yeah probably she's fantastic she's she's actually psychotic which is which

is rather interesting for her vocation okay so yeah we're closing in on almost 5 p.m. Eastern time and I've been tracking everything that's been going on across the country today. And my most important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne. I was talking to the guy in the store, of course, asking him, did he vote? Little minion guy. He said he did early voting and he asked me if I early voted. And he asked me, you know, why I was getting the champagne.

And I said, because I'm going to be toasting Madam President tonight. And he just looked at me with kind of like a smirk on his face. And I said, you know, she's, she's going to win this, right? And he says, oh, with kind of like a smirk on his face. And I said, you know, she's going to win this, right? And he says, oh, well, it's very, very close. And I said, no, it's not. He says, well, what do you mean? I said, no, it's not. The women of America are making their voices heard. Reproductive rights is what it all comes down to. And the women are voting in numbers relative to men that are unbelievable. She's won this.

And I said to him, she's going to take every one of the swing states plus Iowa. And he said, oh, but the numbers are so close. I said, I'm a political analyst. I'm telling you right now, numbers are there. She's taking this election. I said to him, you realize, and he didn't tell me who he voted for, but of course I knew, and I said, you do realize realize, and Eden W.E. voted for her, but of course I knew. And I said, you do realize you wasted your vote, right? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And I didn't care. I walked out with my bottle of champagne and happily walked home. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Bye bye. I think someone might need to do a wellness check on Dr. Arlene, make sure she's okay. It turns out that she came back after the election. Did you get this?

No, no. She came back after the election and she's kind of semi-apologetic, but this is what she posted after the election. This is Professor Loser clip. So, as you know, Kamala Harris did not win the election. As the numbers stand right now, there were 18 million fewer votes than in 2020. And as I said all along,

you have to have a huge, huge turnout and it goes to the Dems and we didn't have it. And there's going to be a lot of speculating going on about... Yeah, about you. Your numbers. Everything that happened, everything that was wrong, every decision that was made, every aspect of this whole thing. And the reality is, is that Kamala Harris ran the most impressive campaign. Mounting and running it and having only three months in which to do it. It's unprecedented. And it was absolutely magnificent.

I've never seen anything like it in my entire life. So good. Impressive on a level that I mean she has the campaign playbook. If you're gonna win that's the playbook that you use. Well there's logic for you. Well if you're gonna win you use her playbook that she lost. Now there's a couple of guys one more clip on this series. She said something and I tried to find this clip because Cenk Uygur had a show before the election where he brought this guy on, and I couldn't get the clip, sorry, but this guy comes on and he's predicting Kamala's going to win and Cenk's all, oh great, blah,

blah, bad. And the guy mentioned the Iowa analysis that was done. It was a poll in Iowa. One outlier said, oh, Iowa's going big for Kamala. She, this woman, in her first clip, if you notice, she mentions Iowa. This Iowa thing, which she didn't go, Iowa's never going to go for Kamala Harris, but for some reason these lefties all believed it was going to be true. Is that like New Hampshire where you have to have New Hampshire, the way New Hampshire goes, the way the country goes? No, it was significant because Iowa is solidly Republican.

Right. All the time. Corn. And it's never gone Democrat, but somebody figured out some way of messing with the numbers to kind of conclude that, oh yeah, they're going to be big Democrats, they're going to swing it to the Democrats. Climate change models. Climate change models. These suckers bought into it.

Now the clip I want to play, which is the one that I didn't play in the last show, but I want to play, this is the election anal series. Mm-hmm. And this is the gender gap clip that nobody really likes talking about. President-elect Trump will be the 47th president of the United States. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing. Look what happened.

Is this crazy? In her concession speech today, Vice President Harris says she accepts the election results, but she vows to fight on. And both Trump and Harris campaigned with the hope that the gender gap would work to their advantage. Trump's campaign focused on men tapping into the economic insecurities and aspirations and making inroads with black and Latino men, often leaning into hyper-masculine rhetoric. And it worked.

But Harris' pitch to women in particular largely focused on abortion rights. That didn't seem to resonate in the voting booth. Center-right pollster Christine Matthews is president of Bellwether Research and Consulting. She says she thought that for the first time since 1976 white women would back the Democratic candidate but that did not materialize. In fact there was really no difference. White women performed as normal and what I find really I don't know difficult to understand, I think, is, you know, both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, two women candidates for president,

didn't do anything to change the dynamics of the gender gap. No, no change. Well, we all know change and everyone's all bent out of shape about that. What's wrong with these white women? Just want the troll room to know that when John gives me a production cue, that does not mean that the title, Election Anal, will be a show title. This is not going to happen. Election Anal. So there is some sanity and I'm happy to see it.

Julie Roginsky, I think that's how you pronounce her name, is a Democratic strategist. And she came on CNN and she explained pretty much, I think, the big problem with the Democrat Party, which has nothing to do with all of this nonsense. Now, I'm going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden's fault. It's not Kamala Harris's fault. It's not Barack Obama's fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters.

We are not the party of common sense, which is what the message of voters sent to us. For a number of reasons, for a number of reasons, we don't know how to speak to voters. When we address Latina, and language, listen, language has meaning, when we address Latino voters as Latin Latin X for instance Because that's the politically correct thing to do it makes them think that we don't even live in the same planet as they do When we are too afraid to say that hey college kids if you're trashing a campus at Columbia University Because you're unhappy about some sort of policy and you're taking over a university And you're trashing it and preventing other students

from learning, that that is unacceptable. But we're so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don't know what to say when normal people look at that and say, wait a second, I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so that they can burn buildings and trash lawns, right? And so on and so forth. When we put pronouns after names and say she,

her, as opposed to saying, you know what, if I call you by the wrong pronoun, call me out, I'm sorry, I won't do it again. But stop with the virtue signaling and just speak to people like they're normal. There's nothing I'm going to say to Sher Michael that I'm not going to say to you, that I'm not going to say to somebody else. I speak the same language to everybody. But that's not what Democrats do. We constantly try to parse out different ways of speaking to different cohorts because our focus groups or our polling shows that so-and-so appeals to such-and-such. That's not how normal people think.

It's not common sense. And we need to start being the party of common sense again. Joe Biden is not responsible for that. Neither is Kamala Harris. It is a problem that is not responsible for that. Neither is Kamala Harris. It is a problem that Democrats have had for years. I've been banging the drum on this for, I don't know how, probably 10 years, if not longer on this. We need to get back to being the party of common sense that people look at us and say, we understand you. We appreciate what you say because you speak

our language. And until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes. Amen, sister. That's exactly right. Oh, you can talk to your blue in the face. It's not going to change anything. And let me say something about, she did bring something up that I've noticed is cropping up left and right everywhere because this swing of the Hispanic vote toward the Republicans keeps bringing up this Latin X thing.

And she's not the first one. I saw it this morning. I was watching it on Zocariah's show and he's going on and on about it. I don't know why everyone gets all bent out of shape because they use Latin X. And yeah, nobody likes it. So whose idea was it? And that was the whole DEI, Beav, Be Ultra woke stuff that just popped up, you know, along with the,

before we get started with the meeting, we want to thank the Lakahine Tudetatatatati tribe for the captured lands we stand on. My favorite, What happened? By the way, I miss that. They're still doing it. But don't worry, it'll pop up. It's still around.

It's still around. I actually miss it. It's so stupid. And you see something going on about a bunch of... I'm Adam Curry, he, him, I'm wearing a blue dress. I mean, all this stuff. All of this stuff. People got sick of it.

I think they were got sick of it. And I think they were always sick of it. Right. But Trump gave people the license to say, I'm sick of it. That's what happened. Like, hey, you know what? I'm sick of this nonsense. Stop it now. He, her. Every time I see it, you know, I'm almost at the point where I got a lot of LinkedIn followers. And when I see that, you know, on LinkedIn, some people will put he, her, they, it, you know, all this stuff. Oh yeah. I just bounce them if I see it. But this, well, I can't, it's not tolerable.

You have to, when you, um, when you log into, you probably, I don't know if you've seen this, but I believe when you log in now, if you haven't set your pronoun, LinkedIn prompts you to set your pronoun. I've never seen that. Yeah. Someone told me that. I haven't seen it. I go to LinkedIn to repost the show all the time. I've never seen that.

But you're already logged in as a she-her. You're already a fake woman on LinkedIn. I'm a she-her. Actually, a she-it. On LinkedIn, you're already a she-it. We know you're stalking everybody. So I thought it would be kind of maybe interesting if you don't want to do it, but Trump released two videos and these are his policy.

So this is the real project 2025. It depends on it. It may be the one, my bonus clip may be part of the series, but play what you're gonna play and then I have some comments about it because I don't think people realize these are old. Oh, the one about how he's going to get rid of the deep state, is that old?

He did one on free speech. Saw that one, yeah. He did one, the really good one is the one on gender affirming care. No, I don't have that one. That's the bonus clip. Well, why don't we do that? Let's do that one first.

Is that an old clip? It's a long clip, but play as much as you feel like, because it's Trump. OK. Here's my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth. On day one, I will revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care.

Ridiculous. A process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. This, by the way, this actually was a reason for some people to, uh, vote independent instead of Trump. So they, they, these were progressives who could not agree with Kamala, probably loved old Joe sharp as attack.

Uh, but because of this, and you mean Joe Biden, not Joe Rogan. Can you believe this I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs? That promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. It'll go very quickly. Now, he can do that, I presume, just like, I mean, aren't these state laws like driving age, tattoo age, drinking laws, aren't these state laws?

Or is there, are there federal laws? No, he specifically said federal agencies. He wants, he can do it in executive order to tell federal agencies to stop this, that and the other. Okay. I will declare that any hospital or health care provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately.

Yeah, that's the big one right there. That's the money. He's like, oh, hold on a second. That's not worth it. Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children. The Department of Justice will investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of sex transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients. In this case,

very vulnerable. We will also investigate whether Big Pharma or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use. My Department of Education will inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school officials suggest to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences, including potential civil rights violations for sex discrimination and the elimination of federal funding. As part of our new credentialing body for teachers, we will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique. I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth.

The bill will also make clear the title- Hold on. Assigned at birth? How about recognized at birth? I think that's a mistake. That's a mistake in the writing. Congress will pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female and they are assigned at birth. The bill will also make clear that Title IX prohibits men from participating in women's sports and we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity without the parents consent.

There you go. The identity will not be new and it will not be without parental consent. No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender. A concept that was never heard of in all of human history. Nobody's ever heard of this what's happening today. heard of in all of human history. Nobody's ever heard of this. What's happening today. It was all when the radical left invented it just a few years ago.

Under my leadership, this madness will end. Thank you very much. Well, okay. So that's good. And I was going to go to a similar type of clip about his deep state policy, but I have to, I have to pump the brakes here for a second because I've learned a little bit about Suzy Wiles, who is his chief of staff announced first female chief of staff ever. But there's a problem with Suzy Wiles.

But there's a problem with Suzy Wiles. In 2022, she signed on and became the co-chair of lobbying firm Mercury Public Affairs. My understanding is that she quit that, she was in a public relations, well, I was a lobbying firm, which she quit in 2019, according to Wikipedia. Well, she was never involved with, all right.

So she was working in Florida campaigns during that period. I'm right. I'm looking at Mercury right here. Mercury announces top Republican political strategist, Susie Wiles is co-chair February 7th, 2022. Okay. So, so that's if that's on their website is probably true. That's bull crap.

And if you look at who their clients are, it's Big Pharma. Yeah. And it's Gavi, which is Gates's outfit. So, you know. She doesn't work for him now. Okay. But it's not like, once again, you've got people in on the inside who I think are questionable.

I think she has to be under scrutiny at this point. But it's like I've always said, because I worked at an oil refinery and then I became an air pollution inspector at an oil refinery. And it doesn't mean I was a corrupt air pollution inspector because I worked at an oil refinery when just the opposite was true.

You seem to have a big problem with climate change. I'm a little suspicious now. You seems like you're shilling for big oil. Yeah, you yeah okay but you get my point yes I do get your point because it's not but let's get back to this this Trump clip this Trump clip that I played in the ones that are all over what you steamrolled right over the fact that she's from big pharma no it's because I'm trying to finish the clip we were talking about you finished you already no I didn't get finish the clip we were talking about. You finished it already. No, I didn't get to the point,

which is that these clips are old. But you already told us that. Yeah, but I didn't tell you the whole history of them. Okay, tell me the history. They were done in January of 2024 when as a pre, kind of a pre-proposed series of these, he did a series of these, he did a bunch of these policy clips when he was planning to go after Joe Biden

in January of 2024. And they re-emerged as new clips. If you see any of them on YouTube, and it sounds like they just were produced last week, these are old clips. Got it. And I think that needs to be known if you're going to play, if anyone's going to be talking about these clips.

Well, I think you might, I got a note saying, how come nobody's talking about these clips? And I was saying, I, I can't figure, these are great clips. I don't know why they're not talking about them. And so you find that's because they're old clips. Susie. Okay, now we can go back to Susie. I got nothing left to say. She's a big pharma lady and I think it's suspicious.

I don't like it. We'll see how it goes. I don't like it. I don't like it. Well, Musk tweeted the video about Section 230. Was that also old? Yeah. It's the same set, the same everything.

I don't know that Musk knows it was old, but he got a hold of it and it came out. It sounds like it was new, but it's the same part of this because of the set. The set's exactly the same. The voicing's the same. The echo is the same. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Well, how can Musk not know he's hanging out with the with the president-elect doing conference calls with Zelensky Well, he never said it was it was new he was played it He made it look like wow, this is important. This isn't he made it look like it was new. Yes, he did I saw that that's where I first got turned on of these clips But this reminds me there was a clip that Trump did in 2015 before he ran in 2016,

which was one of these policy clips that was done about the deep state back then that I wish I had a copy of it somewhere. I have it. I have it. It was a killer. I have it. Let's let's go through it. Hold on a second. I have it. I mean, you're right. It is old, but it, I have it. Let's go through it. Hold on a second. I have it. You're right. It is old, but I wonder why not a lot was done with it.

I'm pretty sure we played it at some point. Let me see here. I know we both had it. I don't know that. Here it is. Dismantle the Deep State. He has a 10-point plan. Here's my plan to dismantle the Deep State.

Exact same cadence, but this of course has some music underneath it because it's a Trump world produced. ... state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all. And corruption it is. You know, we probably didn't play it because they're so long. That's probably the reason we didn't play it, which is a mistake on their part. It's not really clippable. First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order, restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats.

And I will wield that power very aggressively. All right. That, that was what got everyone got there, as you would say, tit in a ringer over that. You can't fire government employees. There is some law about that, isn't there? Is it really hard to fire government employees? Yes, it is very hard. Why is that? I don't know. Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus and there are plenty of them. Oh, that's... He did none of this, by the way. We should note that.

We did none of this, by the way, we should note that. Oh, they got six ways to Sunday. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe. So this was 2015? I think it was 2015. It was after that. And what he's referring to in that last comment, it was the lowest alert thing.

Yeah, the IRS. Running the IRS against all the conservative... Yeah, let's not waste our time with these then. I didn't realize that was from 2015. I thought it was from the 2020 election. No that was no that was really old. Oh man. Well, let's go.

Yeah, no, there's a lot of this stuff that's out there and it never because the mainstream media doesn't report on this stuff. Right. Never get anywhere. They won't give you a backgrounders on it. I mean, I had to dig around to figure out that these clips that would these recent ones that we both ran into about section 230 and about the transgender stuff was was as old as it was which explains why it hasn't been discussed much but at the same time why

does this stuff linger in the background like this and it was never discussed when it came out? It's possible that that was the algorithms that the old guard at Twitter were managing and of course we know that was the algorithms that the old guard at Twitter were managing. Of course, we know that at the time Facebook, everyone's changing their tune a bit, but it was probably suppressed. That's the only reason I can think. Probably. Hello.

Hello. Now, here's a beautiful little ditty. Now, of course, the promise was within 24 hours President Trump is going to fix this war in Ukraine and Man, what a doozy. I think the musk thing because everyone's aboard you know musk was on the phone and talking and to me is probably must was probably in the office and Trump is doing this. He hold on a second, I got to fix this war. Hold on a second.

And then he said, hey, hey, hey, hey, talk to Zelensky, like your grandparents do. Talk to aunt Dottie. Yes, say hi. Yeah, so I don't think he was involved in any negotiations. But in comes a prediction from the show. And first of all, thank you for having me. And I must say that it is already happening because the talks between Donald Trump and

President Vladimir Zelensky already happened, talks on the phone. And I must stress that Elon Musk was part of those talks. It's known that Elon Musk was in contact with the Russian government throughout those past two years. So this raises a concern of how Russian government, how Putin's government is now inside the Trump circle. Do they have someone in the Trump circle? In this case, if we can call an Elon Musk a person who can project Russia's interests.

So now Europe is trying to gather and realize what can it do to counter this new reality in the United States. We know that the European Union and the NATO countries have been preparing for Trump presidency for the past year and of course we could hear champagne bottles popping in the Kremlin when Donald Trump was elected president. So now everyone expects Donald Trump to hit the ground running not from day one but already right now because he's promised to end the war in 24 hours and JD Vance, then the candidate to be vice president of the United States and now vice president elect have told reporters his ideas, his views of how this new peace would be achieved.

First of all, this is a demilitarized zone, but a demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine on Ukrainian territory, on Ukrainian territory at the line where two armies are standing right now. This would mean Ukraine losing a quarter or even a third probably of its territory. Exactly what we looked at. Yeah, DMZ, demilitarized zone, end of story, it's done. end of story is done. Why the mainstream media, no wonder it's the podcast election. It's so obvious when you just sit down and don't have coffee with your producers all day and you just look at the facts on the table and the obviousness of it all. Obviousness of it all, that's the key.

Obviousness of it all. At some point it's obvious and for some reason it's denied. The obviocity is denied. Because these are not actual journalists and reporters, they are operatives, all of them, especially in state-run media, or at least state adjacent like NPR, PBS and screw it ABC, BBC. Meanwhile Donald Trump still in the early days of putting together his administration he's been on a call with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and interestingly he was

joined by Elon Musk. What does that say do you think about the role that Mr Musk might play in the government? It's interesting isn't it this has been described as a lengthy call between Donald Trump and President Zelensky. And the suggestion is that Elon Musk was clearly in the room for at least a small part of it and he handed over the phone. He would give you a friend the phone to say hello to someone on the other end. Yes, exactly. And apparently President Zelensky thanked Elon Musk for the Starlink satellite systems which have been really crucial during the in Ukraine, where a lot of the communications have been taken out. As to what it means for Elon Musk's future, well, there's this discussion about him having

some sort of role in Donald Trump's administration. What that might look like, nobody quite knows. They've talked about something a bit new, something different, maybe leading a new department of government efficiency, where he would cut costs and slash through regulations and that sort of thing. But it shows that at this moment when Donald Trump is putting his top team together, somebody like Elon Musk is clearly there and in the room while he's doing it. Oh, my, oh lordy. It's not Beyonce.

If it was Beyonce, it'd be fine. The BBC is, they're actually becoming quite entertaining for our show. Vladimir Putin seems to agree with Mr. Trump that he might be able to end the war in Ukraine. How? The challenge becomes when you have an honest conversation with your partners is, you know, what are the goals? Zelensky, for example, he says his goal is to get Crimea back. Well, that's not the goal of the United States and that's not the goal of the European nation states.

We learned that in 2014, that when Putin invaded Crimea, Europe did nothing. And so now when Zelensky says, you know, we will only stop this fighting, there will only be peace once Crimea is returned. We've got news for President Zelensky. Crimea's gone. And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back

and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own. That is not the priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own. That is not the priority of America. But the priority of America is peace and to stop the killing. So if Ukraine says, and it sounds unlikely at the moment, but if Ukraine were to say, right, we give up Crimea, they'd carry on getting the arms for the rest of the battle, would they? Listen, the reality on the ground is the European nation states and President Biden

did not give Ukraine the ability and the arms to win this war at the very beginning and failed to lift the restrictions for Ukraine to win. And so, you know, those are the challenges. What we're gonna say to Ukraine is, you know, what do you see as a realistic vision for peace? It's not a vision for winning, but it's a vision for peace. And let's start having the honest conversation.

And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well, we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious. Yeah, not gonna happen. The only thing that I'm curious about is, I'm sure Trump will say, listen, Vladimir, Ukraine will never be in NATO. You know that Putin's going to be like, yeah, I need it in writing this time.

Oh, absolutely. After the last time we screwed with him. The other way of doing that is just dissolving NATO by stop paying for it. And honestly, it would be a fine time for it to go. When it's trying to expand into Korea. Oh yeah, they're giving that a shot. But behind the scenes, I picked this up from the Wall Street Journal, had this very long piece, I just pulled the 47 second intro of what the US military is doing in the South

Pacific at the moment. On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, a sprawling US airfield was left largely abandoned. For decades, the four runways at the northern edge of Tinian sat empty, swallowed up by the jungle. But now, urgent work is taking place to reclaim them. Military crews are clearing the dense overgrowth to unearth the runways in preparation for a crisis in Asia. The US has a need of this space in decades,

but the threat of a conflict with China is rising, and Beijing has developed weapons capable of striking a vast array of targets. So the Air Force is adapting. The work on this island is one of a chain of projects that will form part of a key shift in America's military blueprint. Yeah, there it is. The Department of Defense is already on it.

They're already done. They know that this whole thing is ending. They probably don't even care about NATO at this point because it's all shifting to China. So there's a couple of things. On Zakaria's show this morning on CNN, the anti-constitutionalist douche. Yeah, he's no good. He had David Frum, who used to be, I think, a writer for Reagan or something. He's supposedly a Republican.

Wasn't he in the neocon group? He's definitely a neocon, he really should be a Democrat. Most of the neocons, I think because of Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney, I think most of the neocons are slightly switching over to becoming the Democrats that they always were. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, they were originally liberals. of becoming the Democrats that they always were. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, they were originally liberals. I mean, if you look at the history

of the neoconservative movement, it really became, it was part of the neoliberal movement, which was a Democrat mostly. Although the Republicans suffered from that problem too. And he said that, and nobody said anything about it, he says, Trump's already signaled to China that they can have Taiwan. Why would he say that?

It doesn't make sense to me either. I was just like, what? No. That's bull crap. And the other thing was we have one of our producers, a Navy guy, and he said that the admirals are all signaling to everybody that war with China begins. It was scheduled in... What? Sorry?

2027. In 780 days, specific number. Really? That's 2027. I know because I'm receiving information and actually someone's sending it to me in written form for fear of... This is someone who would know this stuff. And he said, oh, well, since the generals are out there, it was Milly.

Was it Milly that we had? Who do we have talking about it? 2027. This is known. I mean, inside the Navy and possibly Marines. I don't know if the Air Force is, but I think- Well, this all stems from something she said. Yes. In China, the guy runs a place. Yeah, that guy. He said something about 2020 or getting ready or something. I'm wondering whether this is just a part of the scheme to build things up and spend money.

Oh, well, hello. I said it. Hello. Yes. Yeah, I know it's what you've been saying all along, but they're getting so specific. Yeah, but it's so perfect because you just take Taiwan. They're the new Ukraine. You do a little skirmish on the border or something, and everyone's probably in on it. I have to assume everyone's in on it. Now, the question is, is Trump in on it or are they doing this kind of thing to make sure he's even more pissed off? Next year, this evening, multiple sources telling ABC News hackers working for China.

Multiple sources, the Department of Defense, Pentagon, what sources? Broke into the phone used by Donald Trump's lead criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanch, and were able to get text messages and able to record calls made on that phone. Here's Aaron Kaczerski tonight. Thank you, David. Tonight, new details on the length Chinese spies will go to infiltrate American politics and president-elect Trump. Multiple sources tell ABC News hackers working for China's intelligence service broke into the phone

used by Trump's lead criminal defense attorney Todd Blanch. Now we don't have to play the whole thing but you get the idea. It's like are they taunting Trump to make sure he's still mad at China or why else does this pop up? And how do we know they're Chinese hackers? Sources say this is no good. If they're inside the phone network. Yeah, and the good hackers, we've known this since Snowden days,

that the misdirection of all this stuff, it could be that our people doing it, making it look, you know, spoofing China. We can't even, even these fake phone calls I get every day about how my PG&E bill is gonna be lowered by some guy named Tim, you know, who's got an accent. You can barely understand him. And the spoof numbers, you know, it's like, what does it take, you know, we have, you and I both complain about

Elizabeth Warren and Rachel and these fake phone calls we all get, everybody gets them, is what does it take to stop the ability to spoof phone numbers? Well, I'm glad you brought that up. I'm glad you brought that up because... Why is it so easy, I'm guessing, to spoof phone numbers? I got a call the other day and it said something liquid hardware or something and I said, what is this?

And the guy says he's from PG&E, you know, he wants to lower my rates on, on the, uh, my gas bill. And I said, well, how come you're coming in from the hardware company in a click? Yeah, it's, it's actually, there's something else going on. And someone sent me a video about it. It's, it's kind of complicated material, but the basics are quite interesting. I think it's the same hack, quote unquote hack, that caused this story, which I truly believe is a psychological operation from the Democrat Party to make everybody worried

about Trump the racist. Moving on, federal authorities are looking into disturbing and racist text messages. Yeah. From unknown num- Stop, stop. I think you're right on. This is a Democrat. Mimi said this, we were talking about today. She says, this has got to be Democrats doing this because who else would be doing this? This only makes nothing but sense. I think you nailed it.

Rather, to black Americans in at least 10 different states in this country. Now, many of the messages which were sent to middle school, high school and college students make reference to slavery. Adriana Diaz has more on this very troubling story. Very troubling. You have been selected to be a house slave

at the Field View Farm plantation. Be ready on Saturday, November 9th. By the way, only a Democrat could dream up something as evil as this. Yeah. And my other favorite one is the picking cotton one. That's a real killer. Oh no, it's coming. It's coming. 11 a.m. sharp. This was a text message LaTosha Nelson's eighth grade daughter, Jamiah, and her friend received while at home in Connecticut.

My daughter came down and showed me, you know, I was like, wait a minute, I was angry. One, disgusted. Two. In at least 10 states across the nation, CBS News has learned that black Americans have received anonymous racist text messages similar to these. And while varying slightly, many of the messages read, you have been selected to pick cotton or become a house slave at a plantation. Oh, God. I felt scared, sad, kind of shaken by it.

Devereux Adams lives in Atlanta and is a student at Western. All right. So the stories just go on and on and on about this, but not a single moment does anyone say, how does this happen? These are text messages, just like the phone calls you get. This is not trackable all of a sudden. Well here is the issue. It's the SS7, the signaling system number seven and signaling system number seven is this, it's kind of a walled garden around all of the telecom networks. And in order to have interoperability from one network to the other, so from China or

Indonesia or America or Canada or Europe, they all have to go through SS7. And the thing with SS7 is you can become a member of SS7 for, I think it's like $25,000 to kind of get started, or you can buy access to the SS7 network from any number of crappy countries, which everyone's a member of it. And that's how it's done. Once you're in that system, then you can spoof numbers, you can send text messages that are not traceable back to a number, other than, okay, it's in this country somewhere, which may be Kazakhstan, for all I know, and we don't really know who sent the message.

The system is fundamentally broken. This SS7 thing is a mess. It's no good. It has to be redesigned or just killed. Yeah, something has to change with that. And it's like amongst the telco guys is this big joke, oh, SS7. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we know. And you can buy yourself, we could buy our way in and send messages to people about picking cotton. And just think of all those political messages that you can call it, but it's not a real number you can try and calling back. By the way, they did stop except for Carrie Lake. Carrie Lake still needs money and support. She's always using poor girl. She's like, help me! Nobody likes her, I guess. Help me, I'm in the fight of my life! People just don't like...

If we're talking about racism, I have some clips I want to play. This is Brooks and K-Part. Oh man, you're going back to the well. You said yes. Back to the well, back to the well. Brooks and K-Part, yes. So there's a... I have five clips and the thing is this is, I guess I'm always beside myself in the fact that PBS

cannot put people on that can argue both sides of a debate. They just have two agreeable guys that think each other are both fabulous and they're both correct, except maybe they're not as correct as I am and kind of thing. So it starts off with a, with a preliminary clip. This is Brooks and C, Kelly Ditmar. I want to introduce, this is a woman who's a professor at Rutgers and she's part of some woman's coalition. She's a harsh looking kind of, I don't know,

it's probably a man hater, if I best way to put it. And she is just on the war path against Trump and the whole thing. And this is after Trump got elected. And I thought it was a good prelude to what happens with Brooks and Capehart because they keep referring back to her. And this is her in mid sentence talking about, you know, what a creep Trump is and how everything's

bad. And look at in this election and in how Donald Trump waged his campaign, which was in fact taking that progress that you've pointed to and reminding a subset of voters that this is somehow threatening, right? And that's true along lines of race as well. Since the day Donald Trump began campaigning, he tapped into white male grievance politics, saying, for example, society is becoming too soft and feminine. That's something his supporters are more likely to believe based on Public Religion Research

Institute data. Or men are being punished just for being men. Gender is a binary and we shouldn't move beyond that. So we saw that in the anti-trans rhetoric throughout the campaign for Donald Trump and other Republicans down the ballot. And so while we see these gains, we have to remember that progress is not inevitable. It takes the effort and momentum from everybody, including groups like white women, to push back against those who are saying that this progress is somehow

bad and threatening to their own communities. Okay. So the progress is to deny gender is a binary. That was in there. And this idea that, oh, you know, this transgender thing, they're making too much out of it, these Republicans, they're making too much out of it. But meanwhile, it's an underlying theme of everything they do and say and talk about. Well, trans is the new black. Trans is the new black. So now we go to, this is the Brooks and Capehart opener. For more on Donald Trump's reelection, we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Kpart.

That's New York Times columnist David Brooks and Jonathan Kpart, associate editor for the Washington Post. Well, it makes it sound like it. Wow, we've all been waiting for this. Woo, yeah. Oh, stand by everybody. Actually, I have. I know you.

I know you. Stand by. You've all been waiting for it, kids. Come back. So we've had a few days to assess the implications of Donald Trump's sweeping victory, winning the electoral college and the popular vote, the first time a Republican has done that in some two decades. David, what does his really decisive victory reveal to you about this country? You know, I think since 2016 we we've entered a new political era.

And the period between 1980 and 2016 was the information. Hold on a second, I gotta stop this and make a comment. This idea that this is the first time they won a popular vote in two decades, that's five election cycles, that's hardly anything. That's the length of the show, hello. And they vote, yeah, and they have not, and so what? Yeah.

The whole, I have to do a lecture on this and on the show one of these days about how this came about. It's never been a, I don't want to say the electoral college should be dissolved because I don't think so, but it turns out if you look at the history of the country, the electoral college has only once ever not gone with the popular vote once, except for recently. And it did it once in 1820, 1824 or 1828 with John Quincy Adams beating Andrew Jackson, who then went on after that to become president twice. And it was the popular vote difference, I believe was 38,000 in favor

of Jackson, but Quincy Adams got the... That was it. It hadn't happened until you got to George Bush. So it's not like, oh, every day Republicans cannot win the popular vote. They always won the popular vote until, I'm giving the lecture now, it looks like. Yeah, no, it's good. Until now. And what happened? Well, that was-

Well, hold on a second. Isn't this the same as saying, hottest year on record, and they just go back to 1950 and don't look at- Yes, it's identical to that kind of bull crap. Yeah. And here's what really happened. It was Karl Rove in the year 2000 when he was the campaign manager, because he was the

campaign manager for George Bush in Texas and he became the campaign manager for his election campaign. And Karl Rove invented the idea of swing states. And he looked at it, at the whole thing, he said, wait a minute, why are we spending money in California, Washington, and Oregon to get George elected? We're looking for electoral votes. They're giving their electoral votes to the Democrats.

That's just the way it is. That's the way I see it. And he was like a genius about spot in every state. Now these states, if we can just get them to give George the win. Then we have enough electoral college votes. And so he's the one who invented the idea of swing states. This was carried. And so he won. Then the next year George Bush won the popular vote too.

He did very well for himself. But that idea was carried forward by Kellyanne Conway when Trump was elected the first time in 2016, and they pulled the same stunt. They eked it out, they eked it out. They eked it out by saying, wait, why are we waiting? It's a cheap trick. That's why the Republicans can spend less money on these elections than the Democrats

because they don't go for everybody's vote. They say, no, we're going to, in fact, they did, because I'm in California, I noticed this, they abandoned the state completely. And so they ended up with this situation. So it's an anomaly that Trump reversed in this last election because he went to California he decided to get some popular votes in And he won with the popular vote of five million. So this is bull crap anyone who talks about oh, you know They can't win for the 20 years blah blah blah It's it's all Karl Rove's idea was it was a workaround that would that was effective

But it's it you know needs to be rebuked a workaround that was effective, but it needs to be rebuked. And we decided that America was moving to a post-industrial economy led by college grads. So many of our policies were oriented to favor college grads. Education policy, let's get everyone into four-year colleges. Immigration policy, let's provide college grads with cheap labor, even though the less skilled people are going to face some labor competition. Trade policy. We allowed manufacturing jobs to go overseas

while service jobs were not threatened in that way. Geographic policy. We had a laissez-faire attitude where talent congregated in Austin and Dallas and Washington and Boston, and we didn't really worry about all those places left behind. And so to me, we had a policy that favored college grads

and disfavored everybody else. And basically in 2016 and emphatically last Tuesday, a lot of people said, I've had enough, we need a change. Jonathan, do you see that same kind of realignment that the new fault line in our politics is education level? It's one of them. I mean, I don't disagree with anything that David just said in terms of his analysis, but we cannot ignore what was being discussed in the last segment there with Aaron Haynes and Professor Dittmar. Trans.

The role of racism and sexism, misogyny, grievance, white nationalism, that was very much a part of Donald Trump's campaign. Oh my lord, there's no evidence of any of this. These people are just talking out of their buttholes. It's astonishing to me. And then, because Brooks and Capehart are basically on the same team, probably in more ways than one, Brooks ends up agreeing with him, and here we go to the next clip. And I think we need to acknowledge it, we need to talk about it, and then I think as a country, we need to confront it. We've never done it in our history. We probably won't do it now.

But I think we need to acknowledge the fact that the incoming President of the United States openly ran on racist messages about fellow citizens, non-citizens, people who have always come to this country seeking a better life long before build the wall. So yeah, we could talk about education realignment, we can talk about political realignment, but until we talk about the grievances that Donald Trump exploited, as Professor Dittmar said, we're gonna be in this mess for a while.

What about that David, that that wasn't disqualifying. Hold on a second, the professor talked about trans. How come these guys are talking about race? Well, she did mention, you know, misogyny. Yeah, but that's not- Race and misogyny, same thing. It's all part of the same bucket. I agree. I wanna mention something here, which is, Yeah, but that's not... And race and misogyny, same thing. It's all part of the same bucket.

I agree. I want to mention something here, which is this is a, for anyone listening to this, I have a line that is very good. I heard it, I got it from a, not from a meme, but I got it from somebody's post and I thought it was a great idea to use as a one-liner, which is when somebody says, why did Kamala lose? Well, we knew all along that this was a racist country and she's black and it's also a misogynist country. She's black, she's a woman, she's a South Asian,

we knew this all along, that's why she lost because of the racism and the misogyny. And you say to them, well, then why did they nominate her if you knew all that? Yeah, exactly. Why did you nominate her if you knew all that? You listen to these two jokers going on and on and on. Well, that's fine, okay, if you accept that,

why did you nominate her? Why don't you run somebody else that could win? Because, well, the answer is in what we heard previously, because they're so tied up in DEI and wokeness and political correctness, they couldn't say, well, she sucks. They couldn't say that because she's a black Asian woman and a woman. They couldn't say it. Of course not, of course not. They couldn't say it. And of course not, of course not. They can't say anything.

Do these jemokes ever get to some conclusion here that the, what the real issues are? Is it just more Trump is... The racist. I'm looking either for some self analysis, which you don't expect, or I'm looking for what are they, what is the, because I haven't found it yet, what is the track they're going to go after Trump with? What is the thing they're going to try and go after? Oh, I haven't found that either. I'm looking for it. Because everyone wants it. They can't use the old ones.

No, they want him in. He is the chosen one to do the China gambit, to deal with whatever happens in with the economy in 2026 cyclical issue while they should be licking their wounds and figuring out why the country doesn't care about them and the mainstream, they're the ones that have the biggest problem. There's no Trump bump, baby. No one's listening to you anymore. Yes, this is a problem. So this little short clip here is the dollar sign clip that says, wow, it's the dollar sign was supposed to be a four. I got you. Yeah, a million things have shocked me that have not been disqualifying

about Donald Trump. I personally think Donald Trump is clearly misogynist. I think he's clearly a racist. I think that's been in his family for generations. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Fire these guys. Put them into that special company. He's clearly a racist.

Obviously. So give us some examples. Well, you see all the hip hop guys, they voted for him because they're racist too. There's no examples. This is these guys are ruining the show. They have no new material. Let's go with the last clip of the group then and I'll reconsider ever putting them back on the show.

Well, if they come up with something new, I mean, they're talking themselves out of a gig here. Does anyone watch this? Someone must. But to make that argument, somehow you also have to explain why the gender gap went down. Why Kamala Harris did worse among women than Joe Biden did. Because they're misogynists.

Somehow you have to explain why. Because women are misogynists. Trump got more black voters than any Republican since Richard Nixon. Because black voters are racist. Somehow you have to explain how he massively improved Republican standing among Hispanic voters. This is actually good.

And so he created this broad network. And the way I would explain those phenomenon is race and sexism are clearly major facts in American life. But I think in our politics, class is rising in salience and race and gender are falling in salience. And when you say people had to choose between their race or their gender for about white women, you're ignoring that they have brains and that they have economic views, they have social views, they have a million other views. And so those views are part of how people make their decisions, not just an ethnic identity.

It's all part of the stew. And all I'm arguing is don't ignore the potatoes and the carrots While also focusing on the meat. Okay, I'm all for eating I'm on a protein diet right now. So if I ever start using stew as an analogy This podcast I will have someone shoot you. Yes, please that is very necessary You know Tina said something the other day. She said that the problem with Democrats when they talk to women is they only talk below the belt. So that's the only thing. When they're talking, they're looking at your vagina, nothing else. And I think there's something to that. There was no real talk of women. It was all about

abortion and- It's all about abortion. And do you have the right equipment that you need or whatever. Back to the world stage for a moment as there was a meeting in Hungary, Viktor Orban, you know, the far right Donald Trump troney maniac. Hungary now holds the presidency for the European Union. I believe that was part of the deal where he said, okay, I'll let you send 50 billion euros, which America- That was rotating.

Yes, rotating. I thought that deal was something else. I thought the fact that they're head of the European unit at the moment is a rotating position that they were up. It is rotating, yes. But everyone comes over there because he basically, they didn't kill him because he said, okay, you can send money to Ukraine. I think that's a fair assessment.

This is like, we won't kill you if you let us send the money to Ukraine. So the outgoing dude, I forget his name. Is that from Italy? Have it might be Italy had it. And of course, Queen Ursula had to come in to give a little update because she spoke to Vice President-elect Trump and, you know, we're going to negotiate. Don't you worry. There's a lot of fear in Europe about the tariffs, particularly Italy, I might add, according to Willow, who lives there. The Italians are all freaked out because we're a huge export

country. They say it's more about cars than anything. So I don't think you have to worry about your Italian cars. I don't think so either. People who want to buy a Ferrari will pay whatever they want for it. You're already overpriced. Our olive oil, I said, don't think so either. People who want to buy a Ferrari will pay whatever they want for it. But you talk about, yeah, but already overpriced. All right. You know, our olive oil and I said, don't worry about that. I don't think that's going to be the problem. Um, anyway, Queen Ursula, you might've seen a 22nd version of this clip. I went back and got the full version just so we could hear all in context.

Um, the second question was, Victor, it was something with the two of us and I forgot the content. How to negotiate with Trump on trade. Ah. Sorry. How to negotiate with Trump on trade. Yes. So I think first of all engage. Very important.

What we have started yesterday. Secondly, discuss about common interests, and there are common interests that we have. And then go into negotiations. Common interests are, for example, this is one topic that we touched upon. I would not say discussed, but we touched upon yesterday. It's the whole topic of LNG. We still get a lot of LNG via Russia, from Russia.

And why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices, but is something where we can get into a discussion also what our trade deficit is concerned. So engage, look at common interest and then negotiate. Thank you for saying what? First of all, what? You are still getting gas from Russia? What happened to these stations? And how is it more expensive than hauling it over on a ship?

Well, that's a lie, but this is something that happened earlier in the week, which went completely under-reported. Russia has closed one of the biggest gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream 1. It begins in northwest Russia, passes through the Baltic Sea and empties into Germany. It is the longest subsea pipeline in the world. This pipeline keeps Europe running, especially Germany. So this shutdown has spooked the German government. They fear the lights could go off. So Europe

is going all out in preparation. Their first order of business is violating their own sanctions. This is very interesting. Let me explain. Russia needs a specific turbine to repair the Nord Stream pipeline. But that turbine is not in Russia. It was sent to Canada for repairs. Now if Canada returns it, it would violate Western sanctions. If not, Russia could drag out the shutdown. The Western plan is to achieve energy security. And their chosen method?

Violating their own sanctions on Russia. Now, I don't know about you. Wait. Clip of the day. Oh, well, gee, thank you. violating their own sanctions on Russia. doing all this news reporting. What are they talking about that they don't talk about this? They're talking about trans and race. That's all they do. They're just gaslighting everybody. Oh, trans rights. Oh, race. Oh, misogyny. Meanwhile, that cannot be a coincidence that, and this happened just before the election, Russia like, or maybe it was right after the election, Russia click, I'm sorry, we're just cutting off your gas because we don't have that turbine. And we know about this turbine story because it popped up months and months ago that the turbine has to be repaired and it has to happen in Canada and Canada is like, no, we can't do that. But all of this has thrown the German parliament into disarray.

Yeah, they fell apart. Rose the German government into a period of uncertainty. But Germany's Chancellor says he had no other choice but to fire his finance minister, bringing down his own coalition. Too often the necessary compromises have been drowned out by publicly staged disputes and loud ideological demands. Too often he is engaged in petty party political tactics. Too often he has broken my trust. Until now Olaf Scholz social Democrats, the Greens and the pro-business free Democrats had been part of a fragile coalition but that was brought

to breaking point after weeks of differences over how to boost the German economy. Scholz and the Greens wanted massive state investment. But Christian Lindner, now the former finance minister, rejected both tax increases and any changes to Germany's strict rules on debt. This afternoon, the chancellor gave me an ultimatum to suspend the constitutional debt break. I couldn't do that because I would have been breaking my oath of office. Germany's economy is set to shrink in 2024 for the second year running.

Schultz says he'll seek a vote of confidence in the German parliament in mid-January, which could pave the way for early elections. So the finance minister is like, no, we have a rule here. We're not going to borrow more money than X amount. And no matter what the problem is, we're not going to do it. Schultz has get out and now they're on track for elections. But hold the phone headline. Early elections in Germany may not be possible.

Have you heard this? Why it may not be possible? No, I haven't heard any of this stuff. It's so bad. It's so bad in Germany. This is where you say, how bad is it? How bad is it? They may not be able to hold elections in Germany because of a

lack of paper for the ballots. is it? They may not be able to hold elections in Germany because of a lack of paper for the ballots. There's not enough paper in the country which could be... What? Yes! What is wrong with these people? This is all began, this all began and we've tracked it. They started shutting down the nuclear reactors to appease the greens. No. Climate change. Yeah, no, exactly. Due to climate change. Exactly. Now it's possible, it's possible that this is some gambit so they can get electronic voting machines in there. I don't know, that's just something that occurred to me. Voted by

internet. That'll be great. So to me. Voted by internet. That'll be great. So we're not sure how they're going to solve this, but I think we should send them paper, you know, or maybe we have... Kids, everyone save one page of paper at school and we'll send it to those poor people in Germany because they don't have any paper. I mean, I thought Germany was a big paper country. I know they make pencils. I know they're big on the pencil side. Brunzell and they got these big industrial giants of how it's baffling to me. And if that's the state of the German economy, Europe, I mean, all of Europe is going to be in dire, dire straits.

Europe, I mean all of Europe is going to be in dire dire straits. If they're not already. Anyway, I do have one clip from Question Time, Prime Minister's Question Time. We haven't had that in a while on the show. Keir Starmer is the new Prime Minister. And well, there were some interesting questions during Question Time. And it was just your typical funny little Brit humor bit. As leader of His Majesty's opposition, I will be taking a different approach to the last opposition by being a constructive opposition.

And so I would like to start by congratulating President-elect Trump on his impressive victory this morning. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary met him in September. Did the Foreign Secretary take that opportunity to apologize for making derogatory and scatological references, including, and I quote, Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order. And if he did not apologise, will the Prime Minister do so now on his behalf?

The Prime Minister and I did meet President-elect Trump just a few weeks ago for dinner for about a couple of hours. We discussed a number of issues of global significance. It was a very constructive exercise. That's the best. That's the best. Yeah. I love it. That's the best. That's the best.

I love it. Well, Katie Hopkins talked about this in that last clip that I played last show, where these guys, big mouths, big talkers, and that foreign secretary said what she said there. This is not going to go over. Oh man. The world is funny. It's funny. But we're here to keep everybody on track. Well, since we're doing that, since you're the expert on this one, what's going on in Amsterdam? Oh, yeah. I have two clips. Okay, hold on a second. Here we go.

Clip one. There's increased security in Amsterdam in the aftermath of violence that broke out after a soccer match between Israeli and Dutch teams Thursday night. Attacks on Israeli fans who had confronted pro-Palestinian protests earlier were immediately denounced as anti-Semitic. Reporter Terry Schultz joins us from Amsterdam. Terry, thanks for being with us. Hi, Scott. Amsterdam's mayor called Thursday a dark night.

What is it like there now? Dark nights. Well, it's calm on the outside, but there's still plenty of tension under the surface. Right now I'm outside the Amsterdam Modern Orthodox Synagogue, and the city said it was putting extra security in place around locations like this, which they feared could be targets. They're determined to prevent more incidents like we're seeing overnight Thursday, where supporters of the Israeli soccer team were, in the words of Dutch authorities themselves, hunted down and brutally beaten for being Jewish.

All demonstrations have been banned in Amsterdam through the weekend and there are reports police are conducting home searches of people suspected in taking part in the attacks. The Israeli fans were given security and special transport to the airport Friday and extra flights were added to get them back to Tel Aviv quickly. Members of the Dutch government and even the king I gather have spoken out. What have they said? And that's right there's been a lot of outrage from abroad and domestically. Here's Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schaaf. It's a terrible anti-semitic attack and we will not tolerate and we will prosecute perpetrators and I'm deeply ashamed that it could happen in the Netherlands in 2024.

I'm very happy that there's another Dutch guy on the scene who we can talk to. A perpetrator. This guy is worse than Rutte. This guy barely can get sentences out. I have thoughts, but maybe you want to play this. Should I play your second clip first? Yeah, might as well. Then you can tell us what you know.

And of course there's, there's's ugly history here, isn't there? That's right. Israeli Prime Minister, Israeli President, Yisach Herzog, said Dutch King Willem-Alexander called him Friday and said, quote, we failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again. That's referring to the fact, as you mentioned, that the Netherlands is one of the countries which had the highest percentage of its Jewish population, over 70%, killed during the Holocaust. And beyond that, Scott, tonight will be the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht when Nazis

and their supporters rampaged through Jewish synagogues and businesses and arrested tens of thousands of Jews. Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema even referred to this tragic history in a press conference about the soccer incident. Oh, this jamoke. The survivors of the Holocaust, their children and grandchildren, she said, have admirably rebuilt their own communities after the war and made their city, which had failed them terribly during the war, flourish again.

Halsema says she's ashamed of her city and furious. Terry, Dutch officials have confirmed reports that some Israeli soccer fans have whipped up a Palestinian flag and shouted praise, sometimes using graphic language, for the destruction of Gaza. Is that being discussed? Well, it is a bit on the authority side. They've really focused on condemning the anti-Semitic attacks for now. But on social media, and when talking to people in the streets as I have, they also criticize the actions of the Israeli fans and soccer hooligans.

What's seen as this imbalanced response is being called out by pro-Palestinian activists like Nadia Slemi, a 28-year-old woman who was present Thursday night at a planned protest that was kept away from the soccer stadium. The way that they treat us, the Palestinian protesters, with so much violence, and we do not get escorts to our houses. We get escorts to jail, or we get escorts to far outside of the city. All right, I'll give you some facts,

and I'll give you my opinion. Well, first, before you do that, I want to ask you the question, was Kristallnacht, I thought it was a German phenomenon in Germany. Did it take place in Holland and Amsterdam? No, no, but that's part of the analysis. Why instead of saying this is about Gaza and Israel, it's all Kristallnacht and it's the

Jews being persecuted. It's probably a form of Jew abuse. But first the facts. And I think what's, and remember the government in the Netherlands now is Geert Wilders. This is the guy very pro-Israel and very anti-Islam. The, I'm sorry, he's the leader of the party. He did not become prime minister and said he chose the guy you heard talking and he is the former director of all the intelligence services in the Netherlands.

A very odd choice. Spook. Yes, a spook. So the facts are the people in the Netherlands are sick of it. They are sick of the Islamification, as they call it, of the Netherlands. Moroccan gangs of the Islamification, as they call it, of the Netherlands. Moroccan gangs run the country, in essence. And they've been killing journalists and all kinds, left and right, doesn't matter. The gangs, the macro mafia, and you can get someone killed now for 500 euros, used to be 50,000, 5,000, now it's 500, no problem.

They're running all the drugs all throughout Europe, they're running through the port of Rotterdam and the, what they call asylum seekers are being shoved into all these little towns, into these asylum centers and it's just rampant. And when I returned to the Netherlands at the end of 1999 and I moved back to Amsterdam, I had no idea, I'm like, what happened to this country? And it was only in a matter of how long has it gone since 87. So, you know, it was 12, 13 years. And it's like, what happened? And there was a guy, a very educated professor, very educated, very well-spoken, extremely high Dutch language use, incredibly flamboyant gay guy called Pim Fortuyn.

And Pim Fortuyn was, he said, I'm sick of this stuff. I'm running for office to become the prime minister of the Netherlands. And his number one talking point was we have to stop the Islamification of the Netherlands. It makes no sense. We don't need these people here. These are not the right people you're sending from Morocco. It sounds similar, by the way, to Trump. You're sending us your criminals, your nutcases, and we're going to stop all this. That is the platform I'm running on.

What happens to Pim Fortin, assassinated two weeks before the election, his party won posthumously, which of course fell apart because they had no leader, and the whole country went into just into trauma, trauma shut down, because everyone was afraid. I mean, you've got a politician being assassinated in the Netherlands that was not heard of. Now, there were some radicals.

There were some people who were standing up and saying, no, we've got to carry this message on. Most notably, Theo van Gogh, who was a descendant of Vincent van Gogh, and Ayaan Hirshi Ali. She was a politician, she was from Somalia and she entered the Dutch government. And she was also very anti-Islam mainly because of female mutilation, which she had been subjected to. And they made a film. And they made this film together. And then Theo van Gogh, who I knew, I've been on his show before, he was kind of like a podcast dude, but you know, very, just a scruffy kind of guy, did you know, very, very left wing actually, until he couldn't be that anymore.

And a, an Islamist nut job, shot him with an AK-47 in the streets of Amsterdam, stuck a knife in his chest with a list of names who were going to be next. So this country went into complete shutdown and the policy of the Netherlands was okay these people are coming here we need to let them in. Why? No one has ever explained. Of course this happened throughout all of Europe. Look at Scandinavia, look at France, look at the UK, look everywhere, it's happening every Germany. The policy was we'll just let them assimilate in their own time.

So they got their own schools, they got their own neighborhoods, they got their mosques everywhere. Oh, you know, we have to let them have their religion, the mosque with the speakers outside, and people are sick and tired of it. Now, that's the fact. And it's people, I mean, there are no-go zones in all over the country. It is insane. My analysis is that this happened.

Now, the police in the Netherlands are not necessarily really brave in many cases. I hesitate saying that because boy, they were really brave against COVID protesters. They water cannon them and beat them to a pulp and sick dogs on them. But when it came to this, like, we're not really going to do too much. And the way this is being spun, I believe that the spook, the prime minister, that this is being used to stop this immigration and start changing the country and kicking these people out or taking harsh measures and getting the country behind them. So instead of, oh, this is about some war in the Middle East.

No, no, this is like Kristallnacht. You want to talk about trauma in the Netherlands. Yeah, there's trauma about Pim Fortuyn and Teun van Gogh, but the trauma of what happened to the Jews in the Netherlands is much bigger. And I think they're trying to spin this so that they can change the policy and start taking action. And they will.

Well, this doesn't even sound like Islamification. It sounds like Moroccan gangs who could be of any religion, taken over the place. Believe me, it's Islamification. The mosques, it's Islamification. And the Moroccans, there are Hamas and other groups. They're all operating there. It's really, really bad. I mean, I can't get my daughter to leave yet. I keep begging her. Like, you got to leave that place. And I don't know if any other country in Europe is any better.

Just look at what happened. It's crazy. Remember what happened in Sweden? Sweden, land of ABBA. The burning cars, there's no go zones. Now, this is the first move of what I think will be a very turbulent period in all of Europe and in the Netherlands for sure. And that's, you play the Jew card, that's how you do it.

Well, this is not a new phenomenon with the battles between the white Christendom and the Moors, for example, which was a Muslim movement that took over most of Spain and influenced it greatly and then they had to be driven out. So they come and go. Yeah, but this is in the last 25 years. The Netherlands, it was not an immigrant country. Well who made it the immigrant country?

That's the people to blame. The socialists. Socialist parties who have run that country into the ground. Socialists and socialists left-wing media operatives. And the Dutch are nice people. So, you know, they don't want to say, you know, this Islam, you think that woke culture, you might as well just put a Dutch flag on it. They're so, they're so nice and so kind, but that's changing now. And it's going to get, I think it's going to get much worse.

This is just, this is just used as a tipping point. I don't trust this spook for a second. The whole media narrative and the fact that you have the protest, yeah, the Israeli soccer fans, they definitely had a whole protest going on. This is a setup. This is a setup. Yeah. Well, there was some of the early reports that was pretty, it seemed as though the Jewish or Israeli soccer hooligan, soccer hooligans, and I've been around these guys from different countries, I mean,

the British guys are even worse, I think, are troublemakers. Soccer's always trouble, it's always trouble. That's what they do. Mm-hmm. And so they fomented this, and then of course, then all of a sudden it's become a different issue, anti-Semitism.

I mean, I follow World Cup soccer, but I didn't know that… So, they were playing IUCS, which is the Amsterdam team. I didn't know that there was a huge contingent of the Israeli soccer team who follow them to a game in Amsterdam. That by itself, I've never really heard of that. So, why were they there? Of what? Fans? Of the fans coming from Israel? I think a lot of them did, yeah, because they shipped them back to Israel. But that's my point. I haven't, I can't remember when, oh, yeah,

the Israeli team is playing IUCS and they brought all their supporters. What game was this? I was on a train in Europe with a bunch of these British guys that were traveling to Germany from the United Kingdom to go to a game. Yes, but not from Israel. I've never heard of this. Probably been going on for a while. I don't know. It depends on how often Israel would play that team. It's like, currently in American football,

we've got teams that are playing each other that never played each other before because they changed all these conferences. My insinuation here is that they were brought over for this to happen. I don't recall Israeli supporters ever coming in. I think you can make that assertion sure. Yeah, just for a game, just for one game. Is there a cup going on that I'm unaware of? Or is it just a friendly?

No. It's an egg cup. Before we take a break, some sad news. I do want to recognize a voice that was very important for tens of millions of people around America. Elwood Edwards, the man who recorded AOL's iconic greetings has died. Welcome. You've got mail. File's done. Goodbye. Edwards recorded those four iconic lines in 1989 for the company that would become America Online. He was paid $200. His wife, who worked for the

company, recommended him for the gig. Hundreds of millions of people would eventually hear the greetings as they became a key part of the AOL experience with the internet provider, propelling Edwards' voice to worldwide fame. WKYC, the Cleveland TV station where Edwards worked for many years, said he died on Tuesday at the age of 74 following a long illness. Aw. That was a good guy. What?

You met him? No. But I feel like I knew him. He was a good guy. We loved him. Yeah. Hello. Goodbye.

You've got mail. I mean, I grew up with him. He was around in my twenties. Alright. Alright. Alright. You don't care about dead people. I grew up with him. He was around when I was in my 20s. All right. All right. You don't care about dead people. No, I'm glad you got it. Here's the TikTok clip, very short one.

I actually cut it down. This is what's going on with these lunatics. This is the Glock girl. Glock girl? Okay. I would go as far to say that I would purchase a Glock and if you and I are walking on the same street in this dark out and you're a white male, you have to be white for this to count, okay? If you're a white male, even if you don't approach me, I will shoot you. Yeah, I know. So, has to be on the street, you and I.

Has to be at nighttime, during the day, not so much, but at nighttime. Boy, I'm glad you got that, John. So there's a bunch of women that are threatening to poison all men. Oh yeah. And you to get the blue tattoo? Yeah, I got clips I got clips for that I got Well then that now you're the

Design you no, I'm gonna wait This is a tease because first I'm going to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea In the election anal say hello of my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John C. DeMore! Good morning to you Mr. Adam Curry. Good morning to our ship, sea boost, our graffiti, our substance award names and it's out there. At the peak, at the peak we had 2530. 2530 at the peak.

It stinks. What do you mean it stinks? It's above average. It's above the average. The average is 2400. Right, so it's above the average. It's like we're doing, this is good stuff that we're doing here. Okay. All right. You hold yourself in higher regard than the trolls. That's what's going on.

You can join the trolls at trollroom.io. That's where you can listen live. 24 hours a day, but no agenda streamers rolling with many, many good podcasts, all talk, no commercials, all value for value, all having a good time. Many of them doing it live. If not, it's a pre-recorded, but you just log into Troll Room. There's always someone there ready to talk with you, ready to have a little chat or just to troll you, possibly. You can listen to these live there or of course you can get a modern podcast app, which I highly recommend. Get one at PodcastApps.com. You will be alerted when these shows go live, like the No Agenda Show or before us, the Rock & Roll Pre-Show, Darren O'Neill. And you will, oh, oh, oh, it's going live. You click, boom, you're listening to it live. If you can't,

the minute we release a show on these modern podcasts apps through the pod ping technology of Podcasting 2.0, you'll be alerted within 90 seconds. So there's no waiting around like in these legacy apps, wherever you get your podcasts, sure. But if you want to get it fast, if you want to be in the know, if you want all the new features, you use a modern podcast app. 17 years and counting for the value for value proposition we have put forth to everyone, we decided early on, we don value for value proposition we have put forth to everyone.

We decided early on, we don't have listeners, we have producers. Everybody has a responsibility to produce this show. You can do it with your time, with your talent, with your treasure. We value all three and we certainly appreciate people who send us clips, things that we hadn't heard of yet, news stories, boots on the ground, very valuable and treasure of course. But one of the things that we have been thanking our producers for for a long time is the artwork,

which has become, you know, people argue with me, well, isn't AI just a tool? Yeah, AI is just a tool. That's right, you can use it as a tool. But I think that what happens is we just get flooded with AI art and the true masters, usually the Dutch masters, they feel like, well, you know, why should I even try, shame. I think it's too bad. Luckily we do have Dutch masters who check in from time to time.

I wonder about the artwork for episode 1710, which was done by Nico Seim. Do you think this was AI? Because this was a great piece. Yeah, totally. Really? I think parts of it were AI. He could tell us one way or the other, but it had to be.

It was too much. Okay, there's one thing we always had to consider is this AI does one thing well, speed. It creates art fast. And if you get the right system where it creates this, you know, you're prompted to do something and it gives you four examples, which encourages, you know, you're prompted to do something and it gives you four examples, which encourages, you know, that speed. And then you can make a couple of adjustments, gives you four more examples and you pick one. I don't know if the No Agenda, Curry DeVore thing, he put that on by hand or not, which he probably did, but the rest of it looks totally AI. Well, I love the crazy out of control

monkeys, which of course refers back to the 40 monkeys that escaped from the bio lab in South Carolina which that story died nothing happened there did they ever find the crazy monkeys? They're still on the loose I think 35 of them are still on the loose. Oh groovy. They're biting whatever they can find. So thank you very much Nico for bringing us the artwork for episode 1710. Looking back at that episode, I kind of like Darren O'Neill's No Agenda Nitro. We did talk about it, but the monkeys beat that hands down.

You like the Trump Ultra-Maga tissues. I thought it was just too small. Oh, the tissue. Yeah, I ended up using it for the newsletter. Yeah, I just thought it was a little on the small side. I also kind of like Nestworks to-do list, but that was maybe too simple. We had virtue signal vote, protest, leave country.

Stupid. Hey, have the celebrities left yet? Have they left yet, those celebrities? Oh, you know, these guys are just dawdlers. Come on people, leave! Where's Bruce Springsteen? He's supposed to have gone. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Big talker. Oh, big Bruce. Big tough guy.

Now did Bruce actually say that? Did he actually say I'm leaving? He claims he's going to leave the country along with, I think, Rob Reiner and all the same old suspects. What's funny is that the one who initiated this years and years ago during the Bush administration, Barbara Streisand. Oh, she's still in Malibu. She stopped saying she was going to leave the country. I don't know what happened to her. She lost her edge. Ah, that's so, that's- She also has a place up in Squam, Washington. Mimi ran into her a couple times. Yeah. And that Brolin guy's a real douche, apparently.

Her husband. He's a, you know, who I am guy. Yeah, exactly. Like, hey, surely you've heard of me. Let me have my cheese first. Something about one of those guys. And Mimi says that he, because she's seen him at the, they shop at Sunny Farms, which is an organic place. And she says his haircut must cost a thousand bucks.

How can a haircut look like a thousand bucks? I don't know, but that's what she says. I haven't seen him. So here it is. This is a Snopes fact check. Well, outdated. This is a Snopes fact check. Well, outdated. What is this? It says, Bruce Springsteen announces he will leave the United States

if Donald Trump is elected president in 2024. Let me see. Here's Newsweek with the list of celebrities promising to leave. This is helpful. Ready? Yeah. Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Kim Kardashian, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Brian Cranston, Hillary Clinton, all said that they pledged to leave if

Twitter was re, if Trump was re-elected. Also Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, she's on the list. Oh, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, she's on the list. Oh, okay. Cher, Nancy Pelosi, apparently. Megan Rapinoe, that wouldn't be a loss. Amy Schumer. None of these would be a loss. Are you nuts?

And the list just goes on and on. That's all right. I'd hate to lose them. They provide much content and entertainment for the show. Actually, they don't. Yeah, they do. Name one person on that list, except for Nancy Pelosi, that provides much entertainment for our show.

Well, the list goes on. AOC is on the list, although I doubt that was ever serious. She provides entertainment for the show. How can a sitting congressperson including Nancy Pelosi said they're gonna leave the country? Yeah well if a guy's elected what is wrong with them? I don't know. Anyway thank you very much Nico Seim. Anyone can participate. Anybody these days with AI. But the competition is getting stiffer. Thank God.

I love Nico. Yeah, you're right. He probably used AI, but he still made it round. He had some artist sense in there. There's some element of understanding how art can touch the soul and the heart. And the monkeys totally did. They tugged at our heartstrings. NoahArtGenerator.com is where you can upload that. Anyone can open an account and participate.

And thank you very much to all of our artists who are always diligently competing for that coveted spot. Well, you know, you brought me to the bonus clip. You know, we don't wish, but we promise to do bonus clips during these segments. Yes, you have a bonus clip. I do. I wasn't thinking about it until you kept bringing up

the monkey. So this is the infinite monkey report. This is what goes on on NPR, the nation's treasure, as a legitimate news report. One more certitude in this world has been overturned. The infinite monkey theorem holds that a monkey, given an infinite amount of time at a keyboard would ultimately type out every possible text, including the complete works of Shakespeare. But two Australian researchers, Jay Folletta and Stephen Woodcock, calculate that if every

one of the roughly 200,000 chimpanzees in the world typed one key per second, it would take longer than the lifespan of the universe for a primate bard to repeat the words of Shakespeare. In fact, the BBC reports there would be just a 5% chance a chimp would even type the word bananas in their own simian lifetime. In other words, in the finite universe, do not count on an infinite monkey. Wow. No wonder. This is a, this was initially a college joke that everyone heard it.

Yeah. That if you had, it was actually, the way I heard it was if you had an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite amount of time, they'd be able to type Shakespeare's plays And it was never what what do you answer somebody actually takes it seriously and does a calculation and then NPR Plays it as news people wonder why that their audiences are turning to podcasts. It seems pretty obvious to me Filler. Bullcrap filler. Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers. We appreciate everybody who sends back value to the show.

The way it works is very simple. We give you everything, all of us, all of me, all of John, all the time, our entire works to you, including show notes, not to be under discounted, including every single clip we play, every story we've discussed, it's all in the show notes, noagendashow.net, which has enabled fantastic development such as being at.io, you can search, you can search the transcripts, you can get clips,

you can share stuff, all of it is there for you. At no upfront charge, all of it is there for you at no Upfront charge all we ask is if you get value from the show send it back to us So that we can continue doing this work for you and the value can come in many different ways We'd love when people support us financially We thank everybody fifty dollars and above and we implore all at some level to be able to set up a sustaining donation No agenda donations calm any amount any frequency whatever it's worth to you I'm you get an actual credit, a show business credit, associate executive producer, which you can use anywhere where credits are accepted, like imdb.com or LinkedIn, don't forget your pronouns.

And $300 or above, you become an executive producer for that episode, same holds true with your credit, and we gladly will read your note. And we kick it off with someone who came in well above that executive producer level, Mike McClellan, Michael McClellan with $1,000 and he added the fees, 3026, which is highly appreciated and he says, good morrow and ITM find sirs. I have just clicked submit on my PayPal donation having been reeled in by JCD's clever newsletter

wording for the doctorate program. Because of the option to cover PayPal fees, which I benevolently checked, my donation ended up being $1036.26 even though my payment method was switched to my checking account. As such, please switch your the extra to a monthly supporter of your choosing who is closest to knighthood in attempts to get them across the line one month sooner. Wow, was the back office able to do that? Yes. Yes, Jay actually is organized enough to do it. I discourage it, but she can do it. Okay. Or she's done it a couple times now. I also humbly

request a deducing as I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller, errr, donator. You've been deduced. Oh, I'm glad you came out of the woodworks, brother. That's very nice to have you here. I'd like to be known as Sir Michael Knight of the Northern Mitten for the avoidance of doubt. Michael, M-I-K-E-L is pronounced the same as the phonetically retarded Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L. That's nice. Any sharp and jingle marriage, children and grandchildren, karma and as much pomp and circumstance as you can muster, heavier on the pump. God bless Michael, he says.

Oh, E-S-P-I-C-T. You've got... Oh, yes. God bless you too, Michael. Thank you so much. Well, another $1,030.26 guy. This is Stuart Walton, Parts Unknown. Dear John and Adam, please find my donation for the doctorate in education.

Please send an email. I have sent an email to notesatnoagendashow.net, which is what you're supposed to do, with more details on what this is all for. Many thanks, Sir Stuart, the angry accountant in Stafford, England. And Jay puts a note on here that she did not receive this notes at noagendashow.net. So Stuart sent it again, we'll read it if it's necessary. Next show is a make good.

And I think you might want to explain the doctorate just so everyone understands what's going on here. Yes, we're giving away this year's promotion is a doctorate in climate science studies, but it's a doctor of education. So you can be a PhD from last year and then you can be a doctor of education for this this go-round and you get a beautiful hand-designed diploma from the No Agenda Show. And is for climate science studies? I think it's climate science. Yes, and this can be observed as an actual doctorate. You can do what you want. That's exactly what I thought. You can do what you want. If you want to put this on your resume I would do it. Absolutely. Oh look who's up

next. Oh my goodness. That's not ants on the mic. Yeah, Nussbaum. Nussbaum! Nussbaum. Nussbaum! Nussbaum! Newsbomb! Newsboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Smart! And that's his note. Thank you. Thank you, Sir Nussbaum. I'm glad to hear from you, brother. Hope all is well.

He's been around for a long time. He's always in on these promotions. I like that. Sarah Gardner in Wilmington, North Carolina, 500. She has a switcheroo here. And this is a Commodore, I guess the last of them, donation from my husband Tom. November 10th show day is his birthday. Oh, how nice.

That's today. Yes, it is. Tomorrow is 11-11 and it's also Veterans Day. Please play the birthday biscuit jingle. Oh, yes. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. As he's diabetic and a virtual biscuit is probably better than the real thing. Do we give him the executive producer credit as well or just the Commodore donation? This is a little unclear. This is a switcheroo Commodore donation. Let's just put the both names on there.

Okay, let me just add that. Make sure we do that. What? He comes in again? What is this now? Thomas Nussbaum again on the list? Nussbaum! Thomas Nussbaum, Archduke, comes in again now with five... No, he's a Grand Duke, isn't he? Archduke? He's a Grand Duke, He wouldn't have the jingle. Hey, yes. Well, the jingle says Archduke.

So I'll say Grand Duke. Yes. You're probably right. I am sure I'm remiss. Grand Duke Thomas Nussbaum with an additional 500. I'd like to apply to the committee. Is it too late? For my line of work, I go off grid for some times.

He wants to be- Oh, he wants the Commodore. In other words, he missed out on the Commodore donation and he wants to- late for my line of work I go off grid for sometimes. In other words, he missed out on the Commodore donation and he wants to, okay, we'll put him, he's on the list. He's good. Okay, good. Let me just double check. He's on the, yes, he's on the list. Wow. Okay. He's really going on. Welcome back. Welcome back to the grid. So we've lost Nussbaum for how many shows? We don't know. Am I at least a month? No, years. He hasn't donated in years, I don't think.

That's true. He's off the grid. Yeah, interesting. Yeah, he's been, yeah, I can't think of the Latin for it, but he's not been around. But I do see him posting on social media sometimes. It's always some exquisite drink. He's always a glass. He's a bon vivant. Yes, he's a bon vivant. He's always a glass.

He's a bon vivant. Yes, he's a bon vivant. He is indeed. Sir Tyler in Anchorage, Alaska comes in with 343.75. He says, keep up the great work. Tyler Systems LLC, the up and coming AI technology company in Alaska that everyone has been talking about is again supporting the show.

Esteemed tech journalist emeritus John C. Dvorak said they do great work after all. Already another producer has reached out to discuss a project over a productive 15 minute call. That's how it's done in Gitmo Nation. We agreed any business we do together has to result in a kickback to the show. Agreed. Consider this a down payment on the opportunity. Ken, I still owe you an email and I look forward to working together.

Let's hoping, here's hoping to more success. We're continuing to explore building AI tools that help automate existing workflow. All of a sudden AI is great. I love AI. At www.tylersystems.com. That's T-Y-L-E-R. Our tagline remains outsourcing problems

and insourcing solutions. Until we can afford the outrageous retainer the Curry DeVore Consulting Group CDCG. Biz Development Department quoted us that's which I guess is quite high. Yours truly sir Tyler in Alaska. Nice sir Tyler thank you. Sean Brown is in Harriman, Utah 34375. Switcheroo! Please credit my wife Natalie as the executive producer.

Donald loves Nazis, Donald loves Nazis. CNN say that he's KKK, and he shouts a sick hail with it. Wow. Hey! Nice. Nice. It's a great clip. It is. Russell Healy in Lake Zurich, Illinois, 333.33 and he just says simply, keep going, please. We will. And there's Sir Cal coming in from Lavender... Lavender Blossoms.

Thank you Sir Cal. I wonder what he thinks of John Kelly. They all hate him. Sir Drywall in Petrolia Ontario, Canada, 22970. Sir Drywall here of Walnut Ridge. Okay, can you believe 333.33? Scandinavian is only 229 USD. Oh, we need to bump him up. No, he's yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he needs to be bumped up. You're right. I'm thinking the other way around You're bumped up brother now.

Please night me, sir, dizzy top of the dusty hills and I'd like a jingle which is John's Hot Pockets. Hot Pockets. Linda Lupatkin in Lakewood Colorado comes in with 200 bucks and says hey John as you requested I visited at Insta headshots.com and the photos look impressive although I haven't personally tried their service when it comes to including a photo on a resume, I recommend against it as it takes up valuable space that could be better utilized to showcase achievements. However, the website could be an excellent resource for professional headshots for use on LinkedIn or a bio. There you go.

Associate executive producer, Sir Tom and Dame Rhonda, and they sent in a note, a handwritten note. I see a card here.

John and Adam, just a couple of weeks ago, the No Agenda night, Sir Tom of the 1015 was given a special lapel pin by the US Army to commemorate his meritorious service to America during the COVID pandemic. He's a civilian DOD employee in FEMA Region 4. We have not yet figured out how actually going into work throughout the pandemic exhibits courage, but here we are. Through means which we cannot discuss or disclose, Sir Tom has acquired official U.S. Army COVID courage pins for you both and they are enclosed herein. We both agree that if anyone needs to be officially appreciated and acknowledged for their courage

during the dark times of COVID, it will be both of you. We appreciate you for keeping amygdala smaller. We, and we continue to be ever so thankful for your courage. Four more years. Oh, and also included is a check to congratulate you both on 17 years of courage, ITM, Sir Tom and Dame Rhonda. Uh, you know, I would really love to have my pin. I have to tell you this, and this is a fact, she only sent one pin. Oh, that's a bummer.

Is this like, we had two barrels of wine and yours broke during the summer? No, no, this was not like the, and by the way, it was a broken mug. They sent two mugs and one broke, it was yours. Mine broke, now I remember. No, only one pin showed up and I have to wonder, and we checked the envelope, Jay and I both looked at it

and it was no way it got out of the envelope. So it wasn't like the gold coin somebody sent once, someone would say who, but, so I don't know what to say. The pin is a weird looking thing, it's the smallest pin you can imagine. And it's like, you'd have to know exactly what The pin is a weird looking thing. It's the smallest pin you can imagine. And it's like, you'd have to know exactly what this pin is to recognize it on someone. Well, I'm sure there's a lot of it.

You can have mine if they, if they don't have another one. Oh, that's very kind. No, it's all right. I can always, next time I visit you, I can always look at it and touch it. Thank you very much to these producers, executive and associate executive producers who helped us out for show 1711. It is highly appreciated. Remember that these credits are welcome and useful anywhere show business credits are recognized.

That's a lot of places including imdb.com. Thank you again for producing 1711. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Hot pockets. Shut up, slay. So the 4B movement, this is what we're talking about. Yeah, the 4B movement.

Yes, the 4B. Now this started in Korea, I believe. And this is a whole bunch, it's like some feminist movement and it spilled over. And I don't know if it's really spilled over. I thought it started by incel men in Korea. I don't know how this somehow morphed into a woman's movement. Well, maybe it's been co-opted by the women here in America and I'm not so sure this is, I mean, I have not seen, maybe I need to go to Austin, but I haven't really seen any women with their head shaved. There's not going to be any in

Fredericksburg or any place normal. There won't even be any around here. I went to the vet the other day to pick up some stuff for Phoebe and I was taking her and we weigh her to see what she weighs. She's 97.4, which is good. She's down. And the girls there were like, are we celebrating? I said, what do you mean, Trump? He's like, yeah, we're all so happy. It's all great. It feels fantastic.'re all so happy. It's all great.

It feels fantastic. Everyone was so happy. They're so happy around here. Fredericksburg is jubilant, I tell you. Unlike what's been happening with the 4B movement. Let's learn more, shall we? Since the election of Donald Trump, some American women on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have been showing an increasing interest in a social trend originating in South Korea called the 4B movement. Its proponents oppose dating men, having sex with men, marrying

men and having children with them. Stop talking to the men. Delete, block, say your goodbyes and leave it at that. If you secretly had to vote for Kamala because of your husband, I just want you to know that it's okay to divorce him. We're building a whole community of ladies who are happy being single and guess what? If your husband voted for Trump, especially if he knows that you didn't, he hates your guts. Come join us over here on this side. It's called the right side of history. Posts shared in the last few days on TikTok. Sean Lay got more on the 4B movement from Ming Julie from Occidental College in Southern California.

An English literal translation of it is no marriage, no relationship, no birth, and no sex. And it refers to a movement where some group of women, feminists, decided that they are fed up with the patriarchal system and the misogyny that was latent in Korean society for a long time, and that they are going to do something about it. So I have a couple more clips about this, not very long, but I wonder, can this be classified

in DSM-5 as some kind of mental illness where you do these types of things? Probably. It's had quite an impact though on social media hasn't it? And now it's translated to the United States. What's happening in America? Why is it being picked up there? So in the US after the election some women especially it seems like the women who are living in more red states Decided that actually they are similar to the Korean woman who felt like they couldn't trust the men in their lives Also couldn't trust the men who are in their lives or potentially the men who they might go out on dates with who are in their lives or potentially the men who they might go out on dates with. So they decided that they were also going to refrain from the sexual relationships or dating with men until they can know actually that these men are men who can be trusted to honor respect women and respect women's health. Do you think this is also mandatory for trans women?

Do you think this is also mandatory for trans women? I think you're getting ahead of yourself. Do they think then that white, black, Latino men who have voted for Donald Trump somehow become suspect to them that they are not trustworthy? Yes, because in some sense, it seems like the sexual misconduct allegations, as well as how big of an issue women's health and abortion rights was for this election, it seems the case that even if all the men who voted for Donald Trump are not opposed to abortion rights or opposed to women's rights or other things, that it seems to be the case that that is something that they are willing to kind of sideline in order to

roll them into the office. So that is a factor. Back in South Korea, what impacts has 4B made? There has been some change but not necessarily in a good way. And that is one of the things that I'm partly concerned about for the 4B movement in the US as well, because in Korea, this movement has been happening for quite a while. And the results that you see nowadays isn't necessarily like a lot of men saying that, oh, they're in the feminist now or that they believe in woman's cause. It's more so the case that some men have become very radical anti-feminist as a reaction to the 4B movement. So it doesn't seem to be the case that on an individual level, it has changed men's perspective to be more like gender equal or feminist.

It has gone in the other direction. What did she just say? Nothing. I'm telling you, this to me seems like it's only a thing on social media. It's only a virtue signal thing. And what I have seen a lot of very jubilant black women in America who are like, how we've had a thousand orders for our $10 bracelet, blue bracelet, which is like money in the bank.

It's like everyone's selling these blue bracelets now. It's like, it's like, It's like a big moneymaker. And I think it's a great idea. Do you worry that could happen in the United States too? I do worry about that because if there aren't any specific demands for legal reform or certain demands that the 4B movement are making, then it's kind of unclear to the men or the larger society that they're trying to send a message to on what needs to be done in order for this movement to stop eventually.

God, I like the head shaving personally. I think that's funny. Do you see the one that was bitching about having cancer and being lumped in with the other head shavers? No, I didn't see that, but that doesn't surprise me. It doesn't surprise me. I like the head shaving. So we can identify it. These people just want to take themselves out of the gene pool.

I think that's a benefit. Yeah. So wear the blue bracelet and you can find somebody who's sympathetic. I think it's like a warning sign. Stay away. find somebody sympathetic. I think it's like a warning sign. It's like, you know, putting this, you know, a red A card in your forehead. I defy anyone in our vast listening audience to find as one of these either head shaven

or blue bracelets and take a picture. I got to see. Those are the blue tattoo. What's the, what is the tattoo of? Oh, okay. You take,. If you hold your right hand out and you go underneath the palm on the wrist, on the left-hand part of the wrist, you tattoo a small blue heart. Okay. It's really small. It looks like a prison tattoo, but maybe it's a quarter of a half inch big.

Okay. Well, yay. That also means you're that's permanent. It's more permanent than the cheap, you know, bracelet. You can take that off. Wow. Okay. Yippee.

Well, let's talk about the Trump Musk bromance. Okay. I'm glad you're tracking this. Things I'm not... Somebody's got to. Yeah, exactly. So let's go Trump bromance. President-elect Donald Trump gave a special shout out during his victory speech this week to the billionaire who has companies that make electric cars and shoot for the stars,

Elon Musk. Do we have a new star? A star is born, Elon. Of course, Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He owns several companies that could benefit from Trump's presidency. And Paris Tech reporter, Dara Kerr, joins us. Dara, thanks for being with us. Of course.

Nice to be here. We've seen this relationship grow right in front of our eyes. How did it get started? Where is she from? She works for NPR? Maybe. I don't know. She's introduced as somebody.

Elon Musk has been a supporter of Trump for a while. But it was really in July when things got revved up, right after that first assassination attempt on Trump. Almost immediately, Musk posted on his social media platform, X, I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery. And that's when the bromance between the two of them really took off. Musk started deeply fundraising for Trump and posting more and more pro-Trump content on X.

At the same time, he was criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris. And in the last few weeks, Musk hit the campaign trail, speaking at Trump's rallies. And all Musk has donated more than $100 million of his personal money to the campaign. And this has really earned him what seems to be a very close relationship with the president-elect. In addition to the benefits of friendship, what else could flow from this relationship? It really boils down to all of the companies that Musk owns. Besides X, he has Tesla and SpaceX, the rocket company. He has Starlink, which is a satellite internet company, and even more.

And many of these companies rely on government grants and subsidies. Tesla, for example, has gotten millions in government funding to install EV charging stations and SpaceX has been awarded billion dollar contracts from NASA for missions to the moon. There's this minor nitpick Starlink is a part of SpaceX. It's not a separate company as far as I know Could be because there's a rocket you need rockets. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it falls under SpaceX could be But that's nitpicking. It's good and fucking it's where you go

Thank you Okay onward. And so now there's some fears that he can get more contracts or that he may face less government scrutiny. I spoke to Geeta Johar. She's a professor at the Columbia Business School. I think the government contracts would be given without much oversight to Musk, whether it's for SpaceX or whether it is for his satellite links. And that's lack of regulation, lack of oversight, all of which will serve to benefit Musk.

I should say the Trump campaign representatives from SpaceX and X and Musk himself did not respond to our requests for comment. Just yesterday, Trump had a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several major news outlets have reported that Musk was also on the call, though NPR has not independently confirmed those reports. Musk's satellite company Starlink has played a big role in providing internet access to Ukraine during the war. And of course, didn't Donald Trump mention that he might put Elon Musk on some government

commission? Yes, yes he did. This first came up in August when Musk interviewed Trump during a live stream conversation on X. Musk told Trump that he should create a quote, government efficiency commission. Shortly after that, Trump announced that he would create the commission and put Musk in charge, which is something that experts are saying could create a conflict of interest, because Musk could have some sort of influence over the agencies that are tasked with policing

his companies. And a lot of Musk's companies are under some sort of federal investigation. We're talking inquiries by the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency Agency and so on. And with this quote unquote efficiency commission, both Musk and Trump have said they want to slash federal budget. I think they're all missing the story here, but this is like, this is all I hear. Oh, he's going to get some kind of new deals with, he's already got all the deals. He's got all the space deals.

It's, it's an arm of the U S government at this point. He's a military contractor. Yeah. And what is he running? He can't run. He's too, he's on X the whole time. He's hanging out with Trump, making phone calls. How can he run any company?

Someone else is running all this. Well, let's go to the last clip and see if there's any season of reveal material. At rallies, Trump has hailed Musk as the, quote, secretary of cost cutting. And Musk has said he wants to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. That's nearly a third of the budget. Something that has puzzled me, because of of course Elon Musk has a huge investment in electric vehicles. Right. Donald Trump used to hate EVs, didn't he?

Yes, yes. But now he really seems to be on board with them. And Trump has been giving Tesla real shout outs in his rallies. In August, Trump said that he was all in for electric cars. And then he said, quote, I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So Scott, it's really hard to tell what's going to happen come January, but there's no doubt that we are going to keep hearing about this very public relationship between the president of the United States and the world's richest man. And here's Jericho.

Thanks so much. Well, no, there was not much of the season of reveal there. I think the thing that's being over this, a couple of things that could happen. I could see, this is an odd off the wall thought, I could see X being nationalized as one. Twitter? Yeah. Why would you nationalize Twitter? being nationalized as one. Twitter? Yeah.

I wish it nationalized Twitter. Yeah. So it just becomes- Well, that would get him out from under. Yes. So that just becomes, you know, with his whole Section 230. And it could be like the actual town square. And everybody uses that, which would fall right in line with And everybody uses that which would fall right in line with the not so much the cryptocurrency policy that Trump has promised. We'll see. At the Bitcoin conference, he said that there would be a

strategic Bitcoin reserve, which includes every Bitcoin that the US government has seized, which I think is 250,000. That the United States would be purchasing 200,000 Bitcoin every single year to add to the reserve. Of note is that Bitcoin went over 81,000 today. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, Trump. But in Elon's Be Everything app, I've always thought that Trump made a secondary announcement. He said, well, there's the Bitcoin reserve, but he wants to enhance the use of the stable coin. And stable coins is very interesting for a guy like Trump, because you can issue stable coins which are backed by treasuries and some Bitcoin, but I think Tether is probably the largest

purchaser of US debt at this point. It's a great way to kind of print money without really printing it, if you know what I mean. You think it's a workaround. I think it is. Yeah. I think it's some kind of workaround. And then X would be the everything app.

You buy everything through X. Maybe nationalize it. Make it the place, make it like the phone company, get some telco rules in there. Since no one's talking about it, I'm suspicious. It feels like there's something with X that that may be some of Elon's endgame just for this. And he's got everything else. He doesn't have to worry about his contracts and the EVs, whatever. I just think it's a possibility.

Well, put it in the red book, people. It is in the red book. Now the big question, of course, since COP16 just ended, that is the biodiversity conference and we're now on to COP29. But this COP is Mbaku, home of the oil industry, Mbaku and well we've got some questions. So Trump won. He has three potential implications for the climate fight. 1. Amplified climate denial. At least one in ten Americans doesn't believe climate change is real. Trump called the climate crisis one of the greatest scams of all time. His views empowers others to follow suit and this climate science.

2. Fossil fuel expansion. The US is already the world's largest oil and gas producer. On the campaign trail, Trump promised to boost domestic energy resources to lower fuel prices. 3. Policy reversal Domestically, Trump said he would get current climate subsidies that have injected billions into electric vehicles and clean energy. Internationally, he could pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, as he did in his first term. Experts are concerned about what this could mean for the global fight against climate change. Yes, that's the Deutsche Welle report. France 24 views it similarly. He has referred to climate change as a hoax, and experts warn that his second term in office

could pose a serious threat to the planet. We will drill, baby, drill. We're gonna drill. According to the New York Times, Trump's transition team is planning to reduce the size of some national monuments to enable more drilling and mining. National monuments? What? Yeah, according to the New York Times, Trump's going to reduce the size of some national monuments like Mount Rushmore.

What national monuments? Well, the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., that big obelisk or whatever it's called. Maybe they mean- A drill there? What's going on? I don't know. I don't know. Well, they should be explaining it in these articles. You should be an expert after reading the article, but apparently not.

According to the New York Times, Trump's transition team is planning to reduce the size of some national monuments to enable more drilling and mining. The team has grown a pegs of... What? I think what they're referring to is the parks, the National Monument parks. They can reduce the size of the park and on the outer edges or wherever they want to, they can do some drilling. Oh, okay.

The team has drawn up executive orders on withdrawing from the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, the New York Times also states. Under Trump's previous presidency, the US pulled out of the agreement before Joe Biden reversed the move during his time in office. Some experts fear the deal's goal of limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius could become near impossible during Trump's next term. New York Times also reported that Trump aims to do away with a waiver that allows California and other states to have firmer pollution standards.

Trump's re-election will likely loom large over COP29, set to open on Monday in Baku. Alright, so it's opening up Monday in Baku and let's get the propaganda rolling everybody. Europe's Copernicus Climate Agency is saying 2024 will be the hottest year on record. And Crystal Demansing has the details from London. She's been looking through that report. The hottest on record ever. And can tell us more about the very stark warnings it contains. Good morning, Crystal.

Good morning, Heather. Yes, I was speaking with Carlo Buentempo. He is the director of Copernicus Climate Change Service. And he said, quote, he is virtually certain, based on all of the data, that 2024 will be the warmest year on record. Now that builds on the fact that 2023 was previously labeled as the warmest year on record. So that is sort of one of those dire situations that are being shared with us today. But we're also being told that scientists have found that global temperatures for the past 12 months were 1.62 degrees

higher than levels recorded at the start of the Industrial Revolution. So why is that key? Well you might recall that number 1.5 keep 1.5 alive that was the number that global scientists have been using for years telling leaders that they have to keep the level of warming to that number or around there in order to protect the environment, limit those extreme weather events and assure there isn't a rapid rise in temperature. We have to protect the environment, bring back the bikinis. Due to climate change. And then the final clip is from our very own favorite secretary general of the United Nations who loves these trips. He was just in Colombia for the cop down there. Now he's going to Baku.

I mean, the guy is so busy. He's very busy. And I took out all of his, you know, all of his nonsense upfront, because what do you think he's really going for right now? What is the one thing that's lacking from all of these COP meetings? Good restaurants? Money! The gap between the funds needed... Oh yeah, money. It's always about money.

We need more money and it's got to come from the IMF and the World Bank. The gap between the funds needed for adaptation and the's got to come from the IMF and the World Bank. The gap between the funds needed for adaptation and the funds available to developing countries is set to reach up to $359 billion a year by 2030. You gotta get some of that money flowing, people. We need urgent action in four areas. First, new National Climate Action Plans, or NDCs, must set out adaptation planning, financing,

and implementation needs clearly informed by high quality data. I want to drink your blood. Second, every person on Earth must be protected by an effective early warning system by 2027. Early warning system? Oh, what is this effective early warning system? What would that be? Hey, it's going to be hot today. It's called the weather report, dude

in line with United Nations early warnings for all initiatives Sir, the massive increase in adaptation finance from public and private sources more finance Every country must have the means to protect themselves from climate extremes And since the benefits of adaptation to drive progress across the sustainable development goals. We need developed countries to double adaptation finance to at least 40 billion US dollars a year by 2025. An important step to close the finance gap. We need to unlock a new climate finance goal at COP29. What does that mean unlock a new finance goal?

These guys are only trying to bilk money. From the American taxpayer I might add. Yes, from us, from us. We need to unlock a new climate finance goal at COP29 and to build on the pact for the future by driving action on debt and substantially increasing the lending capacity of the multilateral development banks and their potential to leverage far more private finance. Today's report estimates that developing countries outside China are spending more on debt interest payments than they need for adaptation.

Outside of China. Yeah, right. It strikes the heart of the crisis. But they're not going to call out China, they're going to call out the US. House gases. The G20 must lead global efforts to cut emissions 9% a year to 2030, phase out fossil fuels fast and fairly, accelerate the renewables revolution so that we limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The climate crisis is here. We can't postpone protection. We must adapt now. The climate crisis is in your ear. Oh, the sooner we get rid of this nonsense, the better too. Yes. I. Good luck.

They know it seems real. Well, because there's too much money. There's too much money. Everyone loves the money. That's the point to be able to... Well, because there's too much money. There's too much money. Everyone loves the money. That's the point. You want to make money. Without doing any work, by the way. Yes.

Traveling. Very hard meetings. A lot of traveling. Traveling meetings. I'd be remiss if I don't play my latest AI clip. Okay. Do you want to set it up? This is Biden on a phone call with Obama?

These never work so well if you don't see the video, but okay. It's got good voices. Okay. Tough break for Kami, huh? You just started a war. No, I just finished one. I am going to do everything in my power to end you. Listen here, I've been around a lot longer than you.

Yeah, no shit. You never understood how this really works. You were always a good soldier for them, but not me. I didn't get plucked out of nowhere like you did. I spent 40 years hiding skeletons for those fucks. I knew you were fucking stupid, but this is insane. You really don't know the enemies you just made. We are going to erase you from history.

Oh, like I give a fuck I've made my bet. I'll lay in it. You know my family is protected. How about yours? How long you think before investigation started? How long you think you'll stay useful to them? Besides, give yourself some credit. You were the one that dared him to run. But now I gave him the Oval Office. How about you?

Joe, what the fuck did you do? I don't remember. I'm just a crazy old man, right? Did you make a deal with him? Like I said, my family's protected. Hold on. I got someone who wants to talk to you Hello, Barry. It's been quite a long time, hasn't it? This isn't fucking over I'm not an idiot Barry. I just play one on TV You know Here remember a hundred, $150 billion is being invested. Here we go.

So that you can play clips. The only reason why it's supposed to be funny is because they drop F bombs. Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hi, that's funny. They could do a better job of cutting those out. I agree with that. I don't think they need to be cussing, although they probably do that in private chambers anyway.

It wouldn't even be a little bit funny if it wasn't that. It's just the voices aren't that great. It's better with the video. Where's your Tech Grouch TikTok channel? It's coming. It's coming. All right, well. Coming soon. Not AI, but since we're talking about

Joe's family being protected, the question was posed to Kareem Jean-Pierre Abdul-Jabbar. Does the president intend to pardon any administration officials or people that Trump has threatened with any sort of legal actions? He's got 74 days, as you mentioned. Yeah, I know pardon is going to be a big part of the questions that I get here over the next several weeks and a couple of months that we have. I don't have anything to share or any thought process on pardons. Once we have something to share, we certainly will share that.

Secondly, his son Hunter is also up for being sentenced next month. Does the President have any intention of pardoning him? We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no. So knock on the pardon, Hunter. According to sources say. Jean-Pierre said it right there. Well, then Trump will do it.

Yeah, because Joe did help him. Let's be honest. Joe did a massology with the Kamala nomination. Yeah, yes, I'm sure he's well aware. Yeah. Have you heard these calls for Biden to step down early so that Kamala... But you brought this up once already. Yeah, no, no, that was about the 25th Amendment, but I think I saw something...

I've given this some thought, by the way. That was about the 25th Amendment. But I think I saw something... I've given this some thought, by the way. Okay. What's your thought? I think he won't do it because he doesn't want to look like a quitter. And it would be good, it would be funny because it would take out from the Democrats the first woman president card that they like to run on it. They want to win one of these days using that as their motivation, even though it hasn't

paid off yet. But someday it might. And so by making Kamala the 47th president for maybe just a month, that would pull the rug out from under all the Democrats' strategies for the future. And then Trump would become number 48. Here's a... I have not vetted this, but it's pretty short. This is from CNN from this morning, I think. ...is looking for. That is my question. I'll start with you.

Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president. He's lived up to so many of the promises he's made. There's one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president of the United States. It would absolve him from being able to oversee the January 6th transition of her own defeat. And it would make sure that it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public

will want to see is the time. This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats. This is now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show. Jamal's out here right now. Congratulations. It's the season of House of Cards. Well, it would certainly be entertaining. It would be. I just don't see Biden doing it.

He's irked enough. He wouldn't, doesn't want to give her the, because the fact that she jumped on this whole thing the way she did and was partly responsible for stabbing him in the back, I think that he wouldn't allow it. He just wouldn't do it. He's not that, no. Well, in all of this, the conclusion- Not Biden.

No. The conclusion for today is that there seems to be no strategy from the media or their Democrat Party handlers on how to start going after Trump. There just seems to be nothing there for- I think you're right. I think you've come up with one that needs to be focused on. And it will start to see,

it'll start to emerge, it'll be revealed. Which one is this? We'll start to see repetitive things like we've noticed with, like I noticed with the Latin X thing, they're trying to get that out of the lexicon. So there'll be something we're going to see, each of us are going to see it repeated at least twice or three times and then we're going to both, of us are going to see it repeated at least twice or three times. And then we're going to both, I believe at the same time, identify that what the target is going to, how the targeting is going to work. Okay. You said I had identified something already and misunderstood.

No, no, I said I identified the Latin X thing. Oh yeah. I'm just saying that the two of us working with this in mind, that there's a targeting aspect to Trump that we haven't figured out, that it'll start to appear and we'll both, I think we'll both spot it around the same time since, there you have it. We will be on the lookout for you. The more you know, the more you know.

We got a lot to come still. We have our end of show mixes and we're very excited,

as always, about a new tip of the day from John. But first we need to determine what we're going to play at the very end of the show. This is our ISO moment. I have three and it appears you have three. Would you like to go first? I should have four. One, two, oh you do have four, I'm sorry. Yes, you have four. Would you like to play your three? No. Okay, well it's fine, but.

No, I don't know. How did that get in there? That's no good. Hold on. This is one that's good. I want more money. Hmm? Okay.

And my final, my final offering. The power of the podcast. There you go It wasn't so muddy. It'd be good. Yeah, that's what it is. Okay. Well, I got some money. I got some good I got I brought the back the way babe, but let's start with full self full self. I'm my full self Okay, well then there we have the oy vey rerun oy vey such a podcast Yeah, that's that's pretty good. Then we have Thanks.

Thanks so much. Yeah. And then we have Yuppers. Yup, yuppers and fabulous. I like that one the best, honestly. Okay, well I'm gonna put it. Yup, yuppers, fabulous, come on. That's exactly what our show is. Yup, yuppers and fabulous. It's good, that's right. And to prove it, here it is once again, our. Yup. Fabulous. Come on. That's exactly what our show is. Yup. Yup.

To prove it here it is once again, our favorite moment of the show. All right. So this one's actually another Mimi chip. Although it's a tip I asked her to give me because of these products that she uses, these reusable food storage bags. Sounds like, eh, what? How's that interesting? Yeah, how's that interesting? Reusable food storage bags. Well, these are pretty cool.

They're like made, they're not, they're not just like, you know a glad bag that's like Super thick made out of silicons got no dangerous chemicals in it and But they have a ziplock thing that's Huge is that and they're dishwasher safe and they're they're like a substitute for a lot of other kinds of uses And I'm gonna read from her note Idea Tech is one of the brands you look for. Lareen is another brand you look for and she says I'm trying a couple of brands.

There are a lot of brands all about the same price. The cost, you know, they're not cheap. A few different styles. Silicon reusable food storage bag, that's the key words. Silicon reusable food storage bags. The idea is great. Thick silicon bags that you can reuse they never leak you can wash them in a dishwasher and instead of using

disposable bags it cuts down on waste. For all you out there are green. I've had my first set of trial lorines for about four months I have washed them dozens of times absolutely no difference between new and used. The second set first listed. IdeaTek have more rounded corners so they don't quite hold as much but they're easier to clean. I also bought an assortment. They freeze well and don't get weird after being frozen. The only drawback that I see for extended storage is the label would be a good idea

because you write on them, you know, with a Sharpie, it's going to be there forever. You're going to have these bags for years. So it's a product that is a clear winner for the environmentally conscience. Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina has these. She has these. She does. Yes, she does. I don't know which brand, but she does have them. I'm personally, I'm a Ziploc guy. I grew up with Ziploc. I stick to Ziploc. I'm a brand loyal to Ziploc. I like it. It's like, no, I know, I know, but I like throwing it out afterwards.

Okay. You're a wasteful type. Yes. I like kind of on your side. Yes. I like throwing out my bags. Thank you very much. Tip of the day.net for John's tip of the days. And find them also at noagendafund.com and there's a lot more stuff on noagendafund.com. All right everybody on the lookout now, how are they going to try and thwart the presidency of Donald Trump?

We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda. Remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com. Adios, mofos, a about Russia, and what Trump is trying to hide. Conway and Spicer say things are nicer, than what they're willing to comply So many dudes think that this is just fake news

I know they're wrong, wait and see Someday we'll find it, the Russia connection The Donald, the Ma-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li- But Tim Walz's mean meme face, he's got those bug open eyes If rallies between two candidates matter, Trump has all the size Him saying he was friends with some school shooter, saying it a second time May tampon Tim look like a doofus, shown ironically as a dude with body positivity His wife turning pages and crazy high fives are weird to see What do you think will be the October surprise? From the brad summer to the mere fall I do believe I despise maybe SNL being funny

again At least they nailed Kamala with that whole wine drunk connection Hard to watch programming with celebrities spouting lies Houses build on money from the powers B is what I despise start speaking facts Work out till you max, quit paying tax, Stop faking the jacks, stop counting racks, And being so lax, eat more healthy snacks, Whatever you do, seal up your personal cracks, Hey, fact shedding was facts, stop getting facts,

Cosplaying with masks, it's no sweat off my balls, Younger people having more strokes Sensing heart attacks Recovering from long Covid And covering from masking facts and jury tracks Watch out for these new election hacks Toronto Dominion Machines notoriously leaked and hacked October surprise

Every four years around this time Hoping change was 08 2024 it's a vibe But maybe SNL being funny again At least they nailed Kamala with that whole wine drunk connection We're in this new attention economy ads are running nonstop and getting mentioned on socials The new currency I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?

by what has been, you know? Here in Maricopa County and in Arizona, in general, we have very close races. We're sort of closely divided between Republicans, Democrats and independents. So that means these big races like from president, US Senate, governor, and things like that, typically will be very close to the networks or not in a position to call them on election night. But you're right, 10 to 13 days is what it has taken now on average for decades. How badly did Democrats lose to Trump, James? Some stats to just illustrate how significant this was.

This is the biggest shift rightward from one election to the next. Since Ronald Reagan's victory in 1980, Donald Trump's on track right now to get 312 electoral votes. That's the most of any Republican since 1988. Donald Trump's on track right now to win the popular vote, the first Republican to do so since George W. Bush in 2004. She did not do either time.

And he's gonna become the first ex-president since Grover Cleveland won in 1892 to take back the job. So Kamala Harris is going to end up getting more than 10 million fewer votes in 2024 than Joe Biden got in 2020. It really is a bellicose. The best podcast in the universe. Adios, mofo.

Dvorak.org slash NA. Yep, yuppers and fabulous.
