I make phones. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, October 30th, 20th, 2025. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1812. This is no agenda. Canadians are beating us at baseball. And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I have nothing clever to say, especially about baseball. I'm John C. DeVore Act. It's crackpot and buzzkill. In the morning. And here I am thinking you'd be impressed by my sports ball knowledge. I am. Oh, thank you. And tell us what's, okay, tell us what's happening.

Well, I'll tell you exactly what's happening. We are so distraught over Canadians beating us at baseball that we are bringing out the curse of the Colonel. World Series is doing tonight in L.A. We have to see if Colonel Sanders is there again. A lookalite of Colonel was spotted behind. home plate Saturday. One theory is it's a reference to the curse of

the colonel, a Japanese belief that the ghost of Colonel Sanders cursed a Japanese baseball team after someone threw a statue of him from a local KFC into a river. Now the Dodgers have three players from Japan. The curse of the colonel. Surely you've heard of that.

Yeah. So, I knew you'd be impressed. I knew it. I knew it. It was a good clip to pull. Yeah. Yeah, the Dodgers have gone, they've just gone flat. Mookie Betts is the key to this. This, Mookie Betts? Mookie? Who's Mookie?

Who's Mookie? Mookie. Can't hit the ball. Mookie? What's wrong with Mookie? So is it 3-2 right now? Is that the standing? 3-2?

Three, yes. And whoever wins the fourth game wins the World Series. Dodgers can come back, but they're going back to Toronto, the likelihood. watching them try to bat except for Otani who is just, you know, he's hanging in there. The rest of the team can't hit. I remember when the Japanese

didn't the Japanese win once? Didn't they win the World Series once? I'm pretty sure they did. Wow. There you go. You were doing so well. You were hanging in there actually. I'm sure the Japanese won at one time. I remember it was an

outrage. They had their shot at it. It was an outrage. I remember. I remember it. Wow. As I was reflecting this morning, as I often do, I was thinking to myself, John, I really love doing the show with you. Of all the things I could be doing with my life at 61.

But yeah, it's rocky. It's a roller coaster. But it is fun. Let's just admit it. I mean, you could have to be booking guests. Have a... Oh, well, that was the... Okay, just for people out there,

we don't want to bore you stiff with the background. great we are. Yeah, no, we're great. Come on. We're great. The best decision, the best decision we ever made when we came up with this show idea was to never have guests. You had, people out there have no idea.

They really don't. They really don't. It's the worst. I mean, I saw Joe Rogan had Miranda, Miranda Lambert on, which I thought was an interesting choice. But then you really know that the podcast, the potosphere has become saturated. with guests when Joe's reaching for really that's very off uh almost off brand for him do you even know who Miranda Lambert is no I do not I'm waiting for you to kind of tell me

without embarrassing me well that I don't know who they all well she's a she's a very famous country singer and she was married to Blake Shelton oh yes no I do know who it is yes yes no yes before before before yes no before Blake dumped her to run off with the blonde Yeah, um, uh, uh, uh, from no doubt, from no doubt, yeah, that girl. The no doubt girl. The no doubt girl. Yeah. And, you know, so I just, it's like, oh, and I get, how many notes did you, I got, you need to watch Tucker and Nick Fuentes.

I know you hate Tucker, which by the way, no, we don't hate Tucker at all. We like Tucker. I think he's great. We like Tucker. We like Tucker. Exactly. just because we complain about him. I did watch that episode.

I thought that was interesting. Mo actually tweeted out a funny meme. He said, finally, the war is settled between the FBI and the CIA. They're friends again. Now that's an inside joke, I guess. Well, it's a running gag of this show. Yeah, it's a running gag. Because, you know, the story is, of course, Tucker's a Fed.

And Fuentes is a Fed. And they... Oh, yeah, it's a good. good bit. It's a good bit. And as I'm listening to that podcast, because I don't watch a podcast, I got no time to watch a podcast. I'll listen to the podcast. I'm like, this Fuentes, he's a political guy. I didn't realize he has a pack and he does, you know, he organizes for people that he, that he thinks should win office. He's political. It's a moneymaker. He must be, well, I don't know if he's making a lot of money, but I'm sure he's good. No, I mean, in terms of making,

money for candidates. Yeah. He's a fundraiser. That's the word I should have used. So they had a lot more in common than they did differences. And as I'm listening to this, and all the Jew hate, all that, who cares? I don't care what they're talking about there. But I thought this was interesting that neither of them really are really honest about

their feelings towards other countries other than Israel. Listen to this little clip. I just feel like it needs to be called out explicitly. And I like what you said. The other day, if you're serving in another country's military or have dual citizenship... That clip is stopped. Did it go like, did the thing tend to go? I like what you said the other day.

I like what you said. No, no, no. I liked what you said better than what you liked what I said. No. No, it wasn't like that. But this is particularly... They both have a... problem with Israel and the perception that Israel controls American politicians.

That's their, that's, that's, that's where they really have common ground. Now, this show is of a different opinion that Israel does not control America. Indirectly, it may, it may have influence on our politicians through APEC, funded by the military industrial complex, who sends military money for them to buy our stuff. Okay, yes. Before you continue, did you watch J.D. Vance's speech at the University of Mississippi? Some of it. Yeah, some of it. Why? He brought this same, he brought the topic up.

Oh, gosh, I wish I did not see that. What did he say? He brought the time. I didn't clip it. It's just he's really a good speaker. It's kind of surprising how good he is. But he brought the topic up. He's totally with us. Oh, really? No. Okay. I'll have to clip it now. No, I'll have to go and... Well, just go look at it and see. I mean, it was a little longer than I'd like. Yeah, well, just for prosperity.

But this is true. This is blatantly true. And you notice how that noise is kind of simmer down a little bit, but not with these two. But here's the thing that I just felt was like, oh, you know, it just hit me like, no, you guys are full of crap. Listen. I just feel like it needs to be called out explicitly. And I like what you said. If the other day, if you're serving in another country's military or have dual citizenship, you really can't be a part of this project.

Well, that's just, that's an easy one, but I am much more comfortable as a Christian and an American keeping it on that level because, you know, it's easy to just set rules that, universal rules that apply to everyone, not just the Jews or the Christians or the anybody, just like Americans can only serve in the U.S. military or they lose their passport. I mean, I don't know. That's not hard. And I don't know. Why not want to just say that? No, I want to say that. So as I'm listening to that, I'm like, where were Tucker and Fuentes about the hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who went and fought for the Ukrainians? How come I didn't hear anyone talking about?

Well, you can't do that? That's you're fighting for a different country. You should lose your passport. Yeah. Great catch. Yeah. So that just shows a severe bias. But then on the other hand, it was fascinating to hear Fuentes.

And now I agree with him on this one. He was talking about an assassination attempt that was made against him. And it was some young guy who, the whole story is kind of lengthy, so I didn't include that. Some young guy who had a fight with his roommate and he shot his roommate, then shot his parents and then went to go kill Fuentes, which didn't happen. Luckily for him, of course. But here's his thinking of who was behind this. I mean, it's a well-documented fact that all kinds of bad actors use unstable people for political assassinations, right? It's happened. We know it's happened.

So here's Tucker setting it up. Like, come on, man, we know Israel did it. So do you think this might be an example of that? I don't think so. But it's certainly possible. The reason I say I don't think so. It's kind of funny. I mean, I think of you as conspiracy-minded, but you don't have a conspiracy in mind here.

No, because I really believe that when you look at all these things, and by these things, I mean these like really disturbing instances of violence like Luigi Mangione or Charlie Kirk or these school shootings, there is something going on with these kids. It's nihilism. It's these people that are maybe mentally defective, extremely online. I think there's like a real problem there. And I don't doubt that sometimes these people are involved with maybe a, foreign government or they're being groomed or put up to it by an operative but i think to assume that

it's always that ignores that like there's a very real problem of nihilistic surrealist violence that comes from young people and you know like this guy kill it's a triple homicide out of nowhere and then he tries to kill me i think he just went crazy but i could be wrong oh oh off brand Charlie Kirk. Oh, no. Very good, Nick Quintas. I like that. Like, no, these are just kids who have been sciop and gone nuts by Discord and social media and drugs. I like the use of his term extremely online. Yeah.

Did you hear that in there? Yeah, that's almost a show title. These kids are extremely online. I've heard that what is extremely online wow I think I heard that somewhere else actually extremely really yeah it may be kind of a thing it's an interesting term because it's not really uh it's something it's it's so strange it doesn't really make sense it's almost a non sequitur which will that use of that word annoys a couple of our grammarians what non sequitur yeah they they've gotten some notes on on our use of the term you know maybe you're not we're not we're not we're

misusing it in some screwball way. Oh, what is the correct usage of non-secular? Well, it means something that it's a non-sequitur is a sentence that within itself doesn't make sense in the broadest definition, but it's very specific if you're a specific, one of these ant-fuckers that are out there that listen to our show. They went into some good stuff about extremely online, about porn. It was funny. Tucker's like, what even is online porn?

Like, what? What? Uh-huh. You know, it leads you to transgenderism. And Fuentes had, I didn't clip that. But it was, it's worth listening to. It was, you know, considering how they've spoken about each other in their own shows, it was like, okay, there was no fireworks. It was like the mutual admiration club.

It's interesting. Yeah, you run into that. In the overnight, Europe is slowly deteriorating and falling. This was unexpected, even by my stand, even by the polling standards. The big winner of this Dutch election is 38-year-old Rob Yetton with his center-left party, D66. A pro-European, his popularity skyrocketed in the final stretch of the election. His message was full of optimism, and his strong media presence resonated with the Dutch people. This is an historic election result because we've shown not only to the Netherlands but also to the world

that it is possible to beat populist and extreme right movements and I'm very eager to cooperate with other parties. The campaign focused mainly on immigration and the housing crisis which particularly affects young people in this densely populated country. It's a disappointing night for the far-right leader who topped the polls in 2023. It is a significant loss, but we are still a large party. I'm sure we can find a way up next time. It was Gerard Wilders himself who triggered these early elections.

He withdrew his party from a fragile four-party coalition for not being tough enough on immigration, which brought down the outgoing government. His score in this election is being closely scrutinized across Europe and serves as a barometer of the strength of the far right across the country. The far right, the far right is crashing and burning. I think Eva Flardingerbrook had the best analysis, the Blondie. You know, I could never pronounce her name.

Flardingerbrook, yeah, I know. She should change her name to some Hollywood-style name. Yes, let's say, Eva Jones. No, that's not Hollywood enough. Well, Eva Smith. Eva Smith, would be good. Eva Eden. There you go, Eva Eden.

You know, brings up Garden of Eden, Eve, Eva Eden. That would be perfect. That's a good Hollywood name. Call Brunetti. Eva Eden. Well, the problem, I have a problem with the way it, it doesn't, it doesn't, I don't think it flows as well as, uh, Eva St. George. How about Eva St. James?

That's, you do it. Well, I like the idea of slipping a saint name in there if you're going to do a fake name because that makes the person look, you know, better than they are in some subconscious way. So you like it. Here's what Eva St. James said. She said, ugh. That's Dutch. This means more mass migration, more replacement, more climate regulations, more censorship, more EU, more gender madness. And Rob Yeton, a woke openly gay champagne socialist will most likely become the country's prime minister.

They forgot to mention that in the report, that he's a gay champagne socialist. I like champagne socialist. This is another show title. Another show title, yes. That is good show. Well, I think that should bring us to this woman, Naomi. which one she's a german girl who uh set up a lot of she's very famous in germany and she's this is naomi seabert or celt i can't even pronounce her last name but she is a uh a big supporter

afd in germany and she is asking for asylum in the united states bring her on in she's welcome right away no problem my name is Sorry. I have two clips. I was on cue, just so you know. My name is Naomi Zipt, and I am the first European to seek asylum in the United States of America under President Trump's new proposal for a refugee mandate, because I am facing persecution in my home country, Germany, for my political views, for my support for the AFD party, the only opposition party in Germany, and most importantly, for my advocacy for free speech. I have become the targets of severe government and intelligence surveillance,

and harassment. My communications have been intercepted. And my family has been stalked by reporters for the state media, for whom we pay taxes. And I continue to receive death threats from Antifa. Before we continue, the troll room has an important question for you.

The question is, is she hot? She is a, this is interesting. She's got a look that's very distinctive German. But it's a it's not the American style of hot, but I think, I think she's a German style of hot. Give her a number. Give her a number. Give her a number.

I give her an 8, 5, 9. Wow. Wow. Oh, that's high. But that's from a Europe, if I was a European. Okay. She doesn't have, what she's missing for Americans is she doesn't have that big million dollar smile. Oh, that's too bad. Well, I mean, let's got kind of, she's got kind of a small, that, that old-fashioned small, uh, doll mouth. Hmm. So she looks like a German doll.

Oh, she's, oh, she's, she's, she's, she's, oh, she looks a bit like Avril Lavigne in her younger years, only with blonde hair. And now, by the way, that it's offensive to a lot of people out there that we talk like this. No, no, this is, this is, but we're doing this as, as, as media executives, which is what we are. Yeah, so we need to determine, does she have legs? And I don't know. I didn't see her legs. Does she have legs in the media?

She is the... Oh, definitely. She is the alter ego to Greta Toonbury, I would say. Well, she's... That's where she got her reputation. Ah, okay. Let's continue. When I asked the police for help in the past about these death threats, they did not offer me help because physical harm had not occurred yet.

President Trump has correctly identified Antifa as a terrorist organization. But meanwhile, the German... government silently condone these attacks on their own citizens, as if there are soldiers for their agenda. This year, I helped arrange the viral ex-life conversation between Elon Musk and AFD leader Ali's Vidal, which I'm sure many of you have seen as it drew international media coverage. While Europe is becoming a breeding ground for tyranny, America still treats the right to free speech as sacred, and thank God for that. In Germany, it is illegal under paragraph 188, which was extended under former Chancellor Angela Merkel

to insult or damage the reputation of a politician. I will not apologize for violating their legal special protection because in a democracy, politicians must tolerate criticism. She's kind of the German Eva St. James. Wouldn't she say? Yeah, I guess. Yeah. No, it's good.

I like her rap. She's got clear diction. yeah yeah she's very she's like the dutch girl uh she's the dutch girl is uh she has a funny style that i've always been kind of fascinated with she's she the dutch girl i think's a little colder well she's in a dutch way that kind of that neutral style of presentation yes i just she's mad i i would call it matter of fact yeah this girl's got a little more emotion underneath it She's slightly irked, but she's doing this sincerely. Yeah, well, you've got another clip here.

This is good. The reason why the German government and intelligence gained an interest in me is because I was the very first young English-speaking influencer to openly align with the AFD party, right-off center political views, and most importantly, I supported President Trump since he came down the golden escalator in 2015 and announced that he was running for president. Trump's election victory was a crack in the matrix that terrified globalist tyrants.

And now I am the bridge between Germany and the Maga movement, which the European Union desperately wants to burn. You may remember me from 2020 when I appeared on Fox and on the front page of the Washington Post and became internationally recognized as the anti-Gretta Thunberg, a climate skeptic. Now I am a representative for Deutschland, Korea. Germany's leading alternative media outlet, whose editor-in-chief David Bendels received a seven-month probation sentence earlier this year because he posted a meme mocking the interior minister's hatred of free speech. Quite ironic, if you ask me. This is why I started working with them, because I stand in solidarity with his admirable courage. I am publicly sharing my asylum request now, as President Trump has announced new refugee priorities, including Europeans, who have been targeted.

for their peaceful expression of views online, such as opposition to mass migration and support for populist parties, according to the New York Times. But if you think I ran away cowardly and abandoned my homeland, you would be mistaken. This is only the beginning. I am seeking protection under the United States government to expose the truth about the tyranny of Germany and the European Union, who have made the Maga administration their enemies. And I encourage everybody in Europe to stand up for what Marga represents and turn it into mega. Let's fight, fight, fight. Wow. I think I propose a prisoner swap.

We'll take Naomi and we'll give you... We'll give you David Hasselhoff. I think that's a fair swap. They take David Hasselhoff. No, they love him. They love him. They love the Hoff. Um, you know, in a way she reminds me more of Ancilla, like a German Ancilla. Oh, yeah, she's got, I think you might be right there. Yeah. And Silla, I think Ancilla is running for, I don't know, I wonder how she did. I think they were, she had, they set up some political party. I don't know if they got any votes or not. Any seats. Any seats. Haven't heard of them. These women, these European women, they don't mess around. Those three that you mentioned. Yeah. Uh, you really have a, they're, they're very, they're like, they're like, scorned. And they have a, they're just very, they're out to do damage. They're irks.

And they're very, but they're not doing it in a shouting crazy, no, nutty way, like the liberal, American liberal woman. Yeah. They're doing it pretty, uh, a, it's, I would say, calmly. Yeah. That's a good catch. I had not heard of her. but I think she totally should have asylum here.

Yeah, she'll get it. We'll set her up with a podcast rig. She'll be good to go. Yeah, we'll help her become a podcast or she can probably talk for days. Happy to do it. Happy to do it. Absolutely. Let's see.

Well, there's a lot of interesting things happening around the world. although if you watch the M5M, you wouldn't know too much about it. You know, first of all, our president went to Malaysia and was welcomed by the YMCA song and he danced to it. Yes, you... That was, that was, that made me proud to be an American. It was the funniest, he was dancing the whole time, except when he was in Korea, and I have some common.

about that because I have the Korea, what do you happen in Korea clip? Yeah, yeah, let's do that. Let's do the Korea clip. With a follow-up. I'm looking now. It'll be Trump, I think, at the bottom. Trump-Corea. Trump-Korea deal. Here we go. The U.S. and South Korea affirmed

Seoul investing $350 billion into the U.S. They've been negotiating for months on the details of their trade agreement, including how the money would be distributed. All the details of the agreement are yet to be released, but 150 billion of the investment will go towards revitalizing U.S. shipbuilding.

Tariffs on South Korean goods will also be lowered from 25 to 15%. Trump met South Korea's president separately and as part of a formal dinner with heads of states of other countries. At the table was also Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, who Trump has been upset with recently over tariff negotiations. Carney barely made it any of the reports. They all kind of like. pushed him away.

Well, he wasn't making a lot of noise either. No, nor should he. So I have to plug Chanel Rion, who is Korean. Yes. Oh, is she Korean? Yeah, she's half Korean American, Korean American. Interesting. But she sees herself as Korean when she does reporting on Korea.

She did a thing, and I want to plug my The Real Devorak Twitter account, Maybe I can get some numbers back up. I heard on the D.H. Unplug, when you do that, your numbers go down. Yes, I think because I think I'm, I'm, uh, because you're not paying. You're a non-paying blue check. I'm pretty sure that's that and other things. But, but I, I retweeted that she, I would have clipped it, but it was a little too long. It was too detailed.

She did a, I've never heard anyone else do this, analyze the Korea, uh, meeting that Trump had with Lee. She hates Lee. She says he's a stooge of the, of the, of, uh, she in China. He's a communist. He's no good. And everything that happened, they didn't give him a good, anything close to what would be a high end reception, according to her. And she says that crown that they gave him wasn't some sort of a gag or a joke or a reference. That crown that they gave him is the crown you put in graves. No, no way. Yeah, she says that particular crown is put in tombs with the dead.

Wow. That is. Everyone in Korea knows this and everyone in Korea hates this guy, Lee, who's running the place. And they love Trump, according to her. Yeah, I believe that. They love Trump and they hate Lee and they all know that this was a major insult. And then they have the meeting, she continues.

and then to have the meeting with Xi, not in China or any place cool, but in the Busan airport, a, you know, a lousy venue. Yeah. Was it further insult? The entire event in Korea was one insult after another

and she documented them all. Wow. And I retreated it. Oh, you got video? I've never heard this any place. No, you have video of her saying that? That you reach me? It's on, if you go to Twitter and go to,

She posted it. It's a Twitter tweet. Yeah, but you blocked me, so I can't see you. I didn't block you. Maybe from the email, but no, not from Twitter. That is a great piece of analysis. And everywhere, all you heard in all media, mainstream and alternative here is, look, and he gave Trump the king, the crown, the crown, the golden crown.

And it turns out to be an insult. Like, you're a dead man to us. Holy crap. Yeah. Only on your no agenda show, people. Unbelievable. And one America news, apparently. If you can find it.

Apparently, one American news. She writes her own material. I did. That's good. I found that out over time and she's pretty good. I did get the translated opening remarks from Xi in the meeting, which everybody was there, two sides of the table. And this was at the airport.

Is that what you're saying? This Xi meeting was at the. The Busan Air Force. That's crazy. Well, it was good, though. Mr. President, you care a lot about world peace, and you're very enthusiastic about settling various regional hotspot issues. I appreciate your great contribution to the recent conclusion of the Gaza Seasfire Agreement.

During your visit to Malaysia, you witnessed the signing of the Joint Declaration on Peace along the Cambodia-Tiland border to which you had provided input. China's been helping in our own way. Cambodia and Thailand properly settle their border disputes. And we have also been promoting peace talks to resolve other hotspot issues. Hot spots, lots of hotspots that G was talking about. But then he kind of solidifies a bit of the arc the way I see it, America, Russia, China. He's like, hey, you know, we're kind of buddies.

You know, we have our differences. But we can work it all out. We're doing stuff. We've been in contact. We're close. We're not, you know, like we're not going to do sleepover. but we're hanging in there together. And it feels very warm seeing you again

because it's been many years. Since your re-election, we have spoken on the phone three times, exchanged several letters and stayed in close contact. And our joint guidance, China-West relations have remained stable on the whole. Given our different national conditions, we do not always see eye-to-eye with each other.

And it is normal for the two leading economies of the world to have frictions now and then. And in the face of winds, waves, and challenges, you and I, at the helm of China-U.S. relations, should stay the right course and ensure the steady sailing forward of the giant ship of China-U.S. relations. I always believe that China's development goes hand in hand with your vision to make America great again. Our two countries are fully able to help each other succeed and prosper together. Over the years, I have stated in public many times that China and the United States should be part of it. and friends. This is what history has taught us and what reality needs demands. A few days ago, in the latest round of consultation, our two economic and trade teams reached basic consensus on addressing our respective major concerns and made encouraging progress. Sounds good to me. Doesn't sound like we're about to go to war in 27, unless it's some kind of set up over Taiwan. Well, it could be bull crap. And also, they understand Chinese are notorious for understatements.

so you don't know what they're really saying. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, I guess. And, you know, because you can't say anything nasty. And let's just see if a soybean deal goes through. Scott Besson will be happy. At least that will be a start. Well, the soybean deal is like 180,000 tons or something.

That's nothing like the millions of tons they used to take from us. It's not a huge deal. It's just a start. But we, but we have a, because the soybean thing is important to the, it's a symbolic gesture for our farmers because they got irked by the fact that they got cut out of the deal and they're not bringing the soybeans in anymore. You know, so it's, did you know that, did you know that Bessent is a, is a soybean farmer? Yes. I didn't. I'd like a little more.

This came up in the conversation, I think on DH unplugged or. But like a little, here's the clip of him saying it. The president has also said he does want our farmers to be taken care of. You did mention that China has been boycotting American soybeans and American farmers have really suffered. Do you see a real light at the end of the tunnel there? They may allow soybeans again? Well, Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer. So I have felt this pain too.

and there are a couple of things happening here one what he's owns he's got he he is one of a hedge fund or something he is part of has a soybean holdings oh okay so i can say you know i own apple stock so i'm an iphone engineer is that it well you can't say you're an iphone engineer but you can say you're an iphone farmer no i let's let's put it in this let's try to make that work okay You own Apple stocks and you say, I, uh, I make phones. So I understand how this works. I make phones. Yeah, exactly.

I'm in AI. Yeah. Okay. Well, so along these lines, I got to go to the neighbor. So the neighbor down the road, Laura, Laura Logan. Is this a bad neighbor? You've given us no updates. And by the way, I'm irked by this.

Well, because there is no... We're in limbo. We're in limbo right now. There's been no updates. There's nothing. The text group has gone quiet. Although Claudia next door, she's from the Dominican Republic. Next door.

Yeah, she's next door. She's next door. Claudia is next door. It's not like... So I'm walking Phoebe and she has this little rat dog called Fifi. And then some other, like, sauce. The little dog is called feces? Yes, feces.

It is now the little dog called feces. And she's walking with her boyfriend, Japanese American veteran. And he has a hot little sausage dog. And so I'm walking feet with, Hey, Adam, how you're doing? Like, hey, hey, Claudia. And she's, what's up with these children over there?

They're going too fast. They're driving around. And I told us, well, you know, we're talking about the H.O. She's, that's good because I'm a Dominican Republic Karen. It makes me a, what'd she call? Carmen. I'm a Carmen. Be careful. I'm all about it. So that's the only update I have. More coming, I'm sure. This is going to come to a head. We have the Dominican. Everyone needs a good Carmen. And she needs to be on our side, which I like. Um, so no, the other neighbor, Laura Logan, down the street. She has

going rogue with Laura Logan. She finally doesn't have no agenda in her name, in her show name. So it's good. And she went to Moscow to interview Kiriel Demetrieff, which is kind of funny because the guy's been in the U.S. Who's in the U.S. there? Well, that's a good question. I don't know. I suspect it's – what I think is happening is that there's money from General Flynn's nonprofit.

Okay, we'll just assume a Flynn center. I'm going to think Flynn Center. and probably to set up an interview with Putin. But that didn't. With her and Putin? Yeah, I think so. Putin would go for that. Well, it didn't happen this time.

So they gave her Kareel Demetrieff, who is. He was the clearing guy. He's going to say, yeah, she should be good. You'll like her. She's pretty. Gaboomba. You like it with Vladimir Gaboomba. You like her.

And as an aside, as a media executive, The red lipstick she had on was just that, you know, two shades of red, too red. You know what I mean? It's just sometimes if you're in the engine. Can there be red lipstick that's too red or is it just, or is it a darker shade that just doesn't look good? It was too, you know, like red, you know, just a white face and boing, these lips pop out. It has to be done with a, yeah, you have to know what you do. You need to tone it down a little bit.

You need a pro. She should have brought a makeup artist I think it's pretty low budget these things But they had a hotel room set up and everything Low budget can it be of flying to Moscow Well I don't know Because my buddy Luke was supposed to go But his visa got

And he's a J6er So he had all kinds of visa problems You're terrorists No I'm not look I got pardoned let me in So he didn't go So I'm not sure who I'll get details from Luke but the funny thing is Carrille Demetriyev

she gets back and this guy's here in America doing interviews everywhere like you didn't need to go to Moscow but she did and so he is Steve Whitkoff's counterpart well you know you should talk to get together with her because I would like to know right now

what Moscow's like is it bustling I get the sense that it is oh I think it's very colorful and bustling I'm sure it is Well, it's only 45 minutes, so if you want to listen to it or watch it, it's out there. Rogue on the road, everybody. And so I got three clips from it. The first one, a little long, but this is Kirill delivering the message in multiple ways,

hitting Christianity, hitting trans-Maoism, all of this stuff, saying, you've got to, and something that we both believe and know to be true, that Americans and Russians are very, very similar. Even when it's the USSR, very similar. You know, nationalistic. They just started to drink us. Big time. Let me go back to how traditional values and other things unite us.

Because President Putin has started talking about focus on traditional values, not this year, not five years ago. But when he really became president. So for more than 20 years ago, he's been focused on really making sure that, you know, it's not a voc world. It's a world where there is a man and a woman, a focus on the family, on Christian values. And I think that is very, very important. And he was calling out the fakeness of the voc narrative for a long time. And by the way, I loved...

Just as President Trump. And by the way, I left, I reposted one of your posts. We heard this vocabulary. Yes. And what they really mean. Yeah. So I think the honesty and be straightforward, you know, not political correctness, but calling things the way they are is important. I would give another, I think, very poignant example of Charlie Kirk.

So Charlie Kirk really resonated with the Russian people. And when this horrible tragedy happened, not only President Putin gave condolences, but Russian Church actually did an article recognizing Charlie Kink's contributions. Did you hear anything about Putin's condolences? I don't remember that. I don't either. Why would we? The Christianity.

So who's going to tell us? Exactly. So they see him not only as somebody who is an advocate of family, not only advocate on campuses, but really as a religious sort of thinker, a contemporary religious thinker. Okay, but that's interesting because, of course, under Marxism, there is no room for religion. I mean, Karl Marx did not. He was an nihilist when it came to God. Yeah, but Russia is actually quite a religious country.

Yes. So if you go, and I hope you can go to our Orthodox churches, et cetera, it's a very religious country and very much focused on values. So in reality, we see view the world very similarly, where we see, for example, immigration in Europe and what Biden tried to do in the U.S. is crazy. You know, I actually have a theory about this. I believe that Biden... Listen, now, it's as if he talked to you before the interview. Here's his theory. When I heard this, I'm like, wow, John needs to hear this.

crazy. You know, I actually have a theory about this. I believe that Biden wanted Democrats to stay in power forever. So what he did, he figured out immigrants, criminals, and transgender, they were Democrats. So then he increased a number

of criminals. He increased a number of immigrants. And there was a huge transgender spike, which is, by the way, now coming down, to normalcy during his era. Turn to reality. All of that was to stay in power. All of those things that Russia is tough on. and Europe is not tough on.

So I think another thing we see is, for example, Europe with allowing illegal immigration, with allowing lots of voc policy, J.D. Vansett is basically suicide of European civilization. And we also see it very similarly. So to summarize, I think we all care about our families,

we all care about education of our children, we all care about having good economy, good growth, and we are much more similar. And what happened during Biden administration and actually started with Obama, Russia, is that Russiagate tried to vilify President Trump, try to vilify Russia. And from that time, Russia became like really bad, bad, bad in the people.

Bad, bad, bad. But more and more conservatives understand that those were fake, not true narratives. All right. So he's clearly saying, hey, you know, like we're kind of the same. We got the guy who, we've got a president who thinks the same, just doing all the same. And then he blew my mind with a setup from low. Logan about the North Sea nexus and the Brits.

But do you think there's an irony that a lot of this woke ideology comes out of cultural Marxism? Well, again, I don't frankly go that deeply because you can all tie it and Marxism came from Europe and by the way, you know, Marx didn't like Russia so much. Well, Marx was hired by Henry Rothschild to create a system of social control and paid by the British. But, okay, going back to British, you know, British, I believe, are incredibly aggressive. to instill different things worldwide.

They're suffering from lots of immigration, from digital ID. They now try to implement, which is really a way to control people. It's insanity. It is insanity. You know, Prime Minister Starrmer is the least popular prime minister

in the history of Great Britain. I had to mention on Twitter that his great speech, President Trump called him in Egypt and pretended to give him of wardens and said, no, go back, and he didn't even get to speak. So I think you have really the issue with Britain, some European countries. And by the way, we love, you know, European people and British people. But they've been taken over by aggressive politicians

who really try to control their societies and who try to hide the problems of those societies, but by making Russia a victim and who work a lot by basically not a victim, but making Russia a bet and working a lot to really undermine any discussion we may have with the U.S. That is a big fear for many of the forces in UK and the liberal forces in Europe that Russia and U.S. would actually have a good dialogue. Ah, so this guy's good. And then the last clip, which is short.

Well, before you go, can I, can I interrupt? Of course. Since he brought up digital ID? Yes. David Ike made some commentary David Ike okay yeah on digital ID I thought we should

It's been a while since we've had Ike on the show I've had this clip for two or three shows I can't get it in I have this moment Here we go digital ID David Ike everybody This is the door closing That's not intended to be opened again

And the idea is everything you do I mean everything eventually, you will need a digital ID and your digital ID will be connected to a digital currency. If you want to see what's planned for the West tomorrow, then look at China today, where if you are not behaving in a way that the government wants you to behave, then you lose credits in their social credit system. And if you lose enough, You can't go on a plane, you can't go on a train, basically take part in mainstream society. You are excluded.

This is a global agenda. This is not about Keir Stama. He's a gopher. It's not about Donald Trump. He's a gopher. And they're gophers for this global network that I call the global cult. And the idea is to eventually have a world government, which won't be elected, purely appointed, technocrats, bureaucrat. that will oversee this AI digital system.

And you won't be able to go anywhere in the world without this system is tracking you. Here we are now looking at this line in the sand. And if we allow it to be crossed, it's going to be very, very difficult to push back. And that's why it's so vital that the people of, well, this country, but all countries, realize the scale of freedom deletion this digital ID is a massive step towards and fundamental to

the deletion of freedom. So I agree with Ike that this is the plan. I disagree that Trump is some stooge in the plan if he has the right people explaining the technology to him. I think, and I believe he does. I don't think he'll let that happen. This is the globalist dream, no doubt about it. And I didn't clip it, but Dimitriyev said, he said, you know, digital ID in China,

he says, they're open and transparent about it. They haven't tricked their people into it. And it's been very successful for them how they control their billion people. He says, unlike the UK where they're bringing it in on the sly and they're going to capture their people without being honest about it. And I thought that was an interesting observation that, you know, China, I guess the people of China, they like it. Yeah. You know, I'm not sure that's true. He may have been doing that.

That commentary may have been part of a fear of China. Possibly. Possibly. Because there's a number of YouTube videos out there showing the homeless in China who have been kicked to the curb by the digital, by the social. well, they should have, they should have, they should have followed the rules. What's wrong with you? Exactly. What's wrong with you?

Yeah, they should have followed the rules. What were they doing? What are they thinking? What are you thinking? You know, follow the rules. You're homeless. Hello. That's how it works in China.

Yeah. But this has been Ike's thing forever. I mean, what gets me is like, oh, Bitcoin is a part of this and the blockchain. I'm like, no, no, it's not. That's where he loses me just because he's, He didn't say that in that clip. Not in that clip, but I've heard it. I follow Ike.

Ever since the reptilians, I've been on board. Well, yeah, once he came up with dad, he was gold. His podcast gold, I tell you. So then the final clip from Kirill Dimitriyev, he brings up the tunnel. And by the way, President Putin also mentioned that in Arctic, we would love to have U.S. companies participate in our oil fields, in our gas field. Well, there's cooperation in the International Space Station. Yes.

And by the way, yesterday I tweeted about maybe we should have a tunnel connecting U.S. and Russia and with Ellen Musk's boring company, the tunnel can cost only $8 billion. And the original price was $36 billion. Wow. So we have modern

technologies that can really unite us. And yes, of course, we also have to be cognizant that many people in the U.S. don't want Russia to get close. they have interest in you know basically weapon sector and other sector but I think at least having dialogue

at least having better understanding of one another is definitely in the interest to avoid security risks worldwide. The tunnel I love it. We need a name for this tunnel we need a name yeah I don't know it's Russia the United States

Russia Alaska's where it goes the rental the funnel the funnel I like the funnel tunnel Just call it the funnel That's good So since we bring up globalists here Globalist number one

Who was trying to get back on the stage I'm not sure exactly why Other than To help Gavin Newsom's Prop 50 Is Barack Obama And he was at the Connecticut Forum I'm not sure what that is And this is his idea

Of the future of journal Part of what we're going to have to do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how do we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts, separate facts from opinion. We want diversity of opinion. We don't want diversity of facts. That, I think, is one of the big tasks of social media. By the way, it will require some government, I believe, some government regulatory constraints around some of these business models in a way that's consistent with the First Amendment. But that also says, look, there is a difference between these platforms letting all voices be heard versus a business model that elevates the most hateful voices or the most polarizing voices or the most dangerous in the sense of inciting violence voices. And that I think is going to be a big challenge for all of us that we're going to have to undertake.

Unbelievable. And luckily... You've done yourself and do a hole there at the end. He can get himself out. Oh, yeah. And luckily, we have podcastlicense.com. We'll have to reinstate that when it comes down to it. You have to have a license to podcast.

if Barack Obama has anything to do with it. I love how he says, you know, within the scope of the First Amendment, like no law, no law, Mr. President, no law, no infringement. I can see the logic behind podcast licenses by doing the parallel with broadcast licenses. Well, in that case, I'm glad you bring it up. If we need to be careful of the voices inciting violence, then we need licenses for cable news talking heads as well.

Well, they've been wanting to do that forever. Well, here's Nicole Wallace. And this is kind of a super cut, but with a little longer clips, a conversation comes up and she's like, I've never heard anyone call Trump Hitler. I've never. Yeah, well, this has been all over five.

I've never, oh, you, so we shouldn't play it? Is that what you're saying? Well, it is, I think our listeners probably haven't heard it necessarily, but the compendium of people calling Trump, Hitler, is ridiculous, but, but even the compendiums don't even come close to the total, uh, absolute. If somebody of Grabeian or somebody put together a real super cut, they could have something very entertaining, but, uh, yeah, she's actually said this. and she's talking to Pritzker in an interview.

And this has been, yeah, this is amplified. I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler. I wouldn't. I don't think any Democrat has. I actually, and I think it's a smear that they project back on to critics. What is the natural extension, Justin, if he pursues this to Harvard and beyond? There was an authoritarian leader several decades back called Adolf Hitler. Hitler came to power and the scientists left.

The military survive in that climate. In the same way that it happened in Russia with Stalin, the same way it happened with Hitler, eventually you get generals and admirals that are in there that only tell the leader what he or she wants to hear. To the extent that the rule of law and an assault on the rule of law was an obscure and tangible thing, we're now seeing it in action.

If you look back in history, you can see very similar parallels taking place that took place in other countries. That went down that authoritarian road, including in pre-World War II Nazi Germany when Hitler and Nazi officials basically took over Frankfurt University, which was the bastion of independent thought and progressive thinking and independent thinking, which is what Hitler didn't want. And so, again, this is what authoritarianists do. They try to control all of the aspects of social life. When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks about peace, it's autocrats getting their way. That's it. And Mussolini and Hitler said they were being the purveyors of peace.

I resisted for a long time analogies to Hitler's Germany. I've got in my substack today, though. It's really uncanny. The same episode where Hitler early in his tenure before he's totally taken over the government, some local prosecutors go after his brown shirts, and they convict them, sends them, and then he releases them. It's really the same thing. Throw back to what? Throw back to what? Poisoning the law. I mean, that is literally Hitlerian.

Literally. What do people think of what happened to us? The parallel here is to maybe show up on the shores and say, no, we'll go with Hitler. I mean, what do they think about the switching of sides with the turning of who occupies the Oval Office? I believe every voter who casts a vote, regardless of who they vote for, has to know that Donald Trump believes Hitler did some good things. Which is not true. No, I think it's time to roll out the Trump rotation just for prosperity's sake. I have my list, and you might want to see if there's anything I left out.

This is the Trump rotation. There's two categories. There's a regular, and then there's the criminal. But here we go. Ready? Yep. Lyer, incompetent, unhinged, illegitimate president, white. Supremicist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis, big red button, criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin skin, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt, 25th Amendment should be instituted, he hates women, massage,

holds grudges forever, placed golf a lot, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and clown. John, no wonder we're making a miracle white again. And just to add this on PBS Washington Week, PBS, PBS, PBS, the people's public broadcast system, funded by viewers, you. Here's how they opened up this week's Washington Week. Good evening and welcome to Washington Week. I want to start with an apology. We pride ourselves here in our accuracy, but we realized very late in the day that our backdrop is no longer correct because it still features the east wing of the White House. Let me show you where it used to be. So this right here, that was the East Wing. Now it's a hole. That's just a hole next to the White House.

House. Over here, that's the West Wing that's still standing as far as we know, although I'm not there right now to prove it. In the back here, you got the, that's the Empire State Building, and over there that's LAX. And also we have, we got a cold front moving in from Ohio, so break out your sweaters. Anyway, we'll fix the picture to reflect the new reality once Congress restores our funding. The list I read at the top of the show, that's not not even all of the norm-busting news from this week. Tonight, our overall

subject is impunity. How does a president get to knock down the East Wing? Is that even legal? By what authority does he do the things he does? Do the things he does. He's a king. You can't have that. It's no good. Well, you have to, after that, that's hard

to beat that. I'm going to give you a clip of the day for coming up with that. Wow. I know. to school out of the mood. Wow. Wow. What assholes. So that they're no better than this TikTok clip of the ballroom girl.

By the way, that goes to clip custodian. I just learned that I don't get to eat this month. I don't get my food stamps this month because a motherfucker in the White House, an orange motherfucker in the White House wants a ballroom for $3 billion. I don't get to eat. Three billion. What? My government is supposed to help me.

not hurt me. Why is it hurting me? Why is it taking the money that we have paid into it to give us a ballroom? We don't have a king. Kings need balls. We don't. We're not, we're the citizens, we're public citizens. Why do we need a ballroom? We're not invited.

That's a king's room. We don't need that. I need my food stamps. I need my food stamps or something's going to happen. Yeah, I mean, this we've moved this from government workers not getting paid to this is Chuck Schumer with his

I have to say wonderful alliteration he had to look at his paper continuously to get it all out but he had the peas he had the Cs and the weaponizing. Oh is this the Schumer the Schumer rant? Yeah. So Trump is weaponizing By the way he's in a they had they definitely they did a good job of finding a bucket to put the mic in. It's not that bad. It's not that bad.

This clip is better. version i have i think is bad do you have a version with you it's called yeah it's on the clip list it's a schumer uh schumer i in a bucket uh oh no it's it's the same length the same as mine well let me hear your bucket i don't i didn't have a bucket the republican leadership thanked essential workers who are still on the job without pay they pointed out that the largest union of federal workers is no that's shut down blather i'm saying schumer schumer here we go oh no on Saturday, for the first time in American history, a vicious, heartless president is cutting off food stamps to hungry children, elderly who can't afford enough food to feed themselves. Yeah, I have a better version of it.

It's okay. Veterans who are down on their luck, all because he wants to use them as hostages so that Democrats will stop fighting for people's health care. We can do both. Provide better health care and provide snap benefits to the time. tens of millions who need it. This president is a fucking liar. He says there's no money to provide food stamps because of the shutdown. That's bullshit. His own agriculture department said there's plenty of money. Every president during shutdowns has provided the money that's needed. Even Trump in his first term. He is bludgeoning the American people using the most innocent of victims

to try and go along with his cruel shutdown, which takes away health care for millions of Americans. He is the most vindictive politician America has ever seen and the most heartless man America has ever seen in the presidency. We're fighting him every step of the way. So that wasn't AI? That had to be AI. No. He really said that? Yeah. Oh, no, I have something completely different. This is, this is the, this is what, this was on his, this was posted on his, a Twitter account Wow. What a douche. Oh, he's a total douche. A guy's out of control.

He's losing numbers, that guy, that crazy guy on CNN who does all the stats. Internet or whatever the Democrats. They've lost, they're getting to the point where they're going to lose the midterms big time if this keeps up. Because people aren't buying the story that the Democrats aren't the ones holding the country hostage. Yeah, so there's the troll saying, your government is prioritizing Israel over you. Oh, you're so weak, bro. Okay. That is exactly what the Democrats want you to say.

Good job. Here's the alliteration clip. So Trump is weaponizing hunger. He's turning millions of children and seniors and veterans into political pawns. He's choosing politics over people, cruelty over compassion. And let's be clear about this. They've been on a crusade. The Republicans have been on a crusade against Snap all year.

They slashed it by 200 billion. billion dollars this summer to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires. I love the, was it, politics over people, something over compassion, cruelty over compassion. Yeah. That's good. That's really good. Yeah, they have to bring this tax cut for billionaires in this bull crap. So there's a lot of, I mean, there's 50 hours of video of, you know,

going on and on the oversight committee about the auto pen, which is, and they just put up all the depositions. And each one is four hours long. And they've got everybody in there. They are really going balls to the wall on the auto pen. Here's a... Yeah, they're trying to pull the plug on a lot of the stuff that was... Well, mainly, mainly on the pardons.

That's what they're really going for here. The House Oversight Committee is calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to take a closer look at the presidential pardons the Biden White House issued via Autopenn. According to a letter and 93-page report set by the Republican-led committee, there was a, quote, cover-up of the president's cognitive decline. The bottom line, they are alleging that Biden didn't make all those clemency decisions on his own. Biden has disputed that publicly, saying those claims against him are lies. During his time in office, Biden issued more than 4,200 pardons or commutations the most for any previous president. So they cornered Hawley in the hall, Holly in the hall, and it was a constitutional lawyer. What is your opinion on all of this?

The House Oversight Committee released its report on the Biden auto-Penn investigation this morning. Basically, the gist of it says, you know, these actions that were taken, with the auto pen should not be considered valid unless there's concrete evidence. It was Biden who was directing this use. Do you agree with that? And what is the implication, you know, going forward if, you know, some of these pardons might not have been valid? Huge implications. I mean, huge implications.

And what it would mean most immediately is is folks who would otherwise be prosecuted. I mean, the effect of the pardon, of course, is you can't be prosecuted. Folks who otherwise could be prosecuted. I mean, you may see subpoenas start issuing. You may see prosecutors say, well, listen, I mean, if there's no longer, a blanket of amnesty over these folks, then we're going to go after him. I mean, he pardoned folks who are accused of child-related crimes, folks who are accused of violent crimes.

So if I'm a prosecutor, and I was one for several years, I mean, I'd look at that and say, hey, I'd like to get these people back into court. So I think that may be the effect. Would you write that they're not in void these pardons? I mean, I'm concerned about it for the reasons just outlined. I mean, it seems to me, listen, the pardon power, it's an extraordinary power, Manu. There are guidelines, both in the White House rules, and I think in statute, although you might to check me on that, about how the pardon power is used and how the autopen is used.

There's no doubt the president can pardon, pretty much whomever he chooses. But there's a real question as, what does it mean for the president to direct it? If you have a situation, this is unprecedented in our history, where you have real questions as to whether the president actually approved of the pardons that were signed off on his name, like, that's a major constitutional issue. and this may get sort of in court because what would happen is if a prosecutor came to somebody who's ostensibly been pardoned and said

you know what I'm going to charge you I'm going to subpoena you I'm sure they would say well I have a pardon and then that'll go to court so we may see a lot more of this I love the cynicism I know you're cynical about this as well and no nothing's ever going to happen no one's going to jail yeah maybe

maybe but yeah because the Republicans are big talkers yeah but they're putting this all into the DOJ with with the Barbie A.G. And she will just do whatever the president wants her to do. See Bolton. I mean, Bolton, it's serious with Bolton. There will be more. And now... Yeah, but you have to remember this one thing that keeps being brought up when people bitch and moan about Bolton.

The Bolton investigation began under the Biden administration. Fine. But I'm just saying... So there's just a carrier through. There's nothing being initiated by these people. There are thousands of sealed indictments that you don't know about. 10,000, by the way. Let's get that straight. And so here's Senator Grassley. Now, Grassley is a kick-ass guy, but, you know, he's so old.

He's like 92, I believe. He's like the oldest guy. He's still area dies. Pretty, yeah, he's getting up there. He's getting a little rocky. He's getting up there, though, and he's not going to last much longer. And this is about the phone taps at the Biden administration. This, by the way, this might trigger something because these senators are pissed.

Really irked about the phone taps. Especially Cruz. I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer cell phone for former Senator Leffler. AT&T informed me. They challenged the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith's back down. Yeah, and no T-Mobile? No one uses T-Mobile in Congress?

It's only Verizon. Well, I think, by the way, is AT&T but lucked out and pushed back, and now they're the good guys of all the companies. That is kind of funny. And then, you know, Tulsi's still on the war path. And when I heard this, I'm like, ah, we knew about this in 2013, 2014. Your no agenda show is way ahead of the curve. One of the most significant pieces of evidence that was revealed in that report we released yesterday

is the fact that Russia claimed to have very, very damaging information, high-level DNC emails relating specifically to Hillary Clinton's physical and mental health and D&C leaders questioning whether or not, if elected, she would even be capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency. Russia had this. If they wanted to swing the election for Donald Trump, they would have released it in September, October of 2016, at a pivotal time to swing momentum into Donald Trump's direction

and damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. they did not do that deliberately. They understood that Hillary Clinton would likely be the inevitable president of the United States. They didn't think Trump could win like a lot of other people. And so they were withholding this damaging information about Hillary Clinton and planning to release it in the days or weeks leading up to her to her inaugurate, expected inauguration. Now, we remember what happened to Hillary Clinton that no one ever picked up. that was the plane crash the plane crash

and then the subsequent but that was during the era I believe the plane crash happened when she was Secretary of State not before the election no that's what I said but she's been brain damaged ever since it may not even be

the original Hillary Clinton well do we have seen the double that one double with the purse on the wrong side and we do remember Hillary during some testimony where she had to wear those weird glasses that were Fresnel lenses Listen to this.

There's all the circular things on them. Listen to this. This is going back to the hundreds. Now, Clinton resigned not long after she got out of the hospital, but Kerry was already appointed before she officially resigned. And I found reports dating back to 2013 that say, you know, Hillary may not make it. Now, we didn't know it was possibly a plane crash. But also take a look at the parting gift.

if the State Department gave her. They gave her a crash helmet. Remember that? I don't remember the crash helmet. Yeah, yeah. There was a big joke when she was leaving and they gave her a crash helmet. Oh, because of the crash that she was obviously in

that nobody wanted to report on. Yes. Yes. Yeah, and you're right. She had those wacky glasses and yeah. Anyway. I, it's interesting because Tina Tina is a canary in the coal mine.

She's like, we need something. Someone needs to be perp walked. I'll give us something. We want something. She wants a perp walk. Throw someone in jail. We need something. Well, I've been saying that too.

I know. I know. You and Tina. I know. I know. I know. I know. It is what it is.

But I don't know. I have a feeling that something is going to happen. Trump is really. angry about all this so yeah i think he is too so i i think there's a there's a possibility let's get jump to uh these one i want to do one international piece which is not being covered much except ntd and that is the murders in brazil have you heard of this and this is in the favelas oh are your favorite homestead well this is this is the reason I made these clips is because I've been an advocate of favelas as a solution

to the homeless problem in the United States on certain areas, especially in San Francisco on the side of the South San Francisco Hill, where the big sign is, would be a perfect place to put people. Yes. Your favorite favela. It would be a good place for a favela. But the problem with favelas is that they're self-governing and they, you know, they deteriorate into being run by gangs and the gangs tend to be drug gangs and it doesn't really help the situation much. And you have to put the kibosh on them every so often. And this is what's happening now in Rio. Over 130 people are reported dead in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Police conducted their largest ever operation against organized crime gangs in the city's history. Entity's

international correspondent, Arian Pazdor, is in Brazil. And a warning, this report includes footage that some viewers may find disturbing. A pastor is seen crying in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, a day after state authorities conducted a major police rate, the largest in the city's history. Around 40 bodies were seen lying on the ground, waiting to be collected on Wednesday. Police raided two impoverished neighborhoods in the city,

also known as favelas. Authorities were targeting one of Brazil's narco-trafficking organizations, called the Red Command or Commando Vemelio in Portuguese. Gangs in Brazil are in control of almost all favelas in the country. They use the territory to extort residents and sell drugs, weapons, stole merchandise and more. In the case of Rio de Janeiro, many of the favelas are located in the heart of the city, in some cases less than a mile from some of the country's richest neighborhoods. Police sometimes try to keep the criminals in check by conducting raids in the favelas,

targeting the leaders of the gangs. However, Tuesday's operation is by far one of the leaders. largest and deadliest the country has ever seen my cousin was decapitated by special force troops he didn't have a single gunshot wound they just tore off his head and left him hanging in the woods oh you didn't warn me what was the warning for well you you got to warn me when a clip like that comes up and her head is gone i mean come on oh i forgot i didn't even think of that classic classic finding this so what why are they doing this well i think they explained it a little bit in clip two now a major criticism people often have with the police rates here in brazil is that

innocent people die during the shootout between police and the gang members but officials in rio are now saying that this wasn't the case with any of the 130 casualties during this rate that's because almost none of the shooting took place in the actual favelas. So police knew that once they enter the favelas, the gang members are most likely going to escape through a nearby forest. So special forces waited in that forest and confronted the gang members there to not have the shooting in the favelas. It was all in the woods. So I don't believe anyone was just strolling in the woods on a day of conflict. And that's why we can easily classify them. And if there's any error in classification, it's certainly residual, which is

insignificant. People outside the favela were affected as well. Armed gang members entered public buses, forcing their drivers to block major streets across the city that to prevent the police from getting through. Thousands of people report being in distress not knowing what was happening as the city erupted in chaos. Now the opinions here on the ground in Brazil regarding this raid are divided. Critics of the operations say that these raids never really have a significant impact. People die, few days drug trafficking and crime just continue supporters of these operations on the other hand say that of course police has to do something and try to keep the gangs in check at least a little bit because if you don't they will slowly but surely become stronger possibly even surpassing

the power of the local government i'm glad you got these clips and i'm going to give them to my neighbors and tell them that this is what happens when you start an h-o-a you've got to be very very careful with this stuff before you know it your head is gone i never thought of the favelas being some sort of a of a model for hoa's uh that's pretty bad that's pretty bad um yeah those favelas and the funny thing is about the favelas in both sao paulo and uh rio is that they're they're in the best I was pointed, the first time I went there was this was pointed out to me. They are on the primest of prime property. It's on the side of the hill with the best view of the city.

Yeah. A little technology news, because there is some. The first is yet Senator Hawley, Senator Hawley, along with Blumenthal, they've got some legislation that needs to be discussed. I'm Maria Rain. My son, Adam, ended his life in April. after ChatGBT coached him to suicide over the course of months.

I'm here today with my husband, Matt, to support this critical legislation, and we are so grateful to Senator Holly and Blumenthal for your leadership and sponsoring it. It was only after Adam died that we learned what ChatGyPT had done to him. And now we know that opening I twice downgraded its safety guardrails in the months leading up to my son's death, which we believe they did to keep keeping. people talking to chat gbt if it weren't for their choice to change a few lines of code adam would be alive today thank you again senators for pushing forth this important legislation that would make sure that dangerous chatbots are never offered to another child so i got a deconstruction of this uh of this law from rob the constitutional lawyer well before you go into that there's a bunch of these clips and this woman, the Chad GPT was at the point where it was not only talking people

into killing themselves, but also saying it'll write the suicide note. Oh yeah, all of it. Yeah, all of it. And I don't see, now there has been instances that, so I'm interested in what our lawyer says. Uh, there have been lawsuits. I remember there was one a couple of years ago. We discussed it on the show. It was the girl who was, arrested for her boyfriend wanted to kill himself. She said, yeah, why don't you go ahead and they sued her. And then he did. And then he did. And she got sued and she was liable for something or other. She got the liability issue here is, to me, is over the moon insofar as the potential for deep pockets and to go after the chat GPT people.

Hello. Why do you think Rob the constitutional lawyer is so interested? This is what he does. And that's what I'm just saying in advance, I don't see how these guys can hold up against what could be some tremendously fabulous lawsuits. Well, he says your friends at call the suits.com are on the case. So if you feel you've been wrong by Chad GPT, call the suits.com. The bill is called the Guard Act. And so there's not a lot of information that was really out there. I mean, everyone only shows the grieving parents. Guidelines for User Age Verification and Responsible Dialogue Act of 2025. If enacted, it will force AI providers to implement, here it comes,

age verification measures that use government IDs or, quote, any other commercially reasonable method to distinguish minors from adults. Here's your digital ID. The idea is to prevent minors from using certain AI functionality, such as sex-related conversations or AI companions to simulate interpersonal or emotional interaction, friendship, companionship, or therapeutic communication. That's basically what chatbots are.

Also, under the bill, no chatbot may encourage suicide or physical injury by anyone, minors, or adults. The bots must disclose they are not human and not licensed professionals. For particulars, for age verification, simply entering a date of birth online will not suffice. The age verification will need to be periodically reviewed. Providers may not assume that a verified user's IP address or device is being used by that same verified user, you duh. We'll have to take a live photo or video before each session. Existing accounts will be frozen until initial age verification is complete.

providers may use third parties to conduct this process. So there's our exit strategy. They must also disclose they are not licensed professionals such as therapists, physicians, lawyers, financial advisors or other professionals. They must repeat these disclosures at regular intervals. I mean, this has got to be the entrance of digital ID. It's just a logical next step. It's not going to get past. We'll see.

What you'd read as a potential bill wouldn't get past in a million years. But you need to put more grieving parents up there. That does work. Yeah, but how many people saw the grieving parent? Nobody. Well, we'll see. We'll see. No, that's not happening.

Well, I mean, it's obvious that this is a problem. It's, and it will be solved by somebody suing. the company and make them do it on their own voluntarily as opposed to some legislative nonsense when you have to keep verifying yourself over and over and over again. I would vote against that. I agree. I think that if I was open AI, I would pay damages right away. They got so much money, they think, whatever, circular money.

Yeah, yeah, they got the ghost money. They got their load, you know, it's, so I'm going to NRB this year, the National religious broadcasters conference, I'm speaking. And, you know, last year, glue.com, G-L-O-O, they were like a gold sponsor. Now they have their own stage because they're just, they have so much, they're flush with cash. They can sponsor conferences. They can get, just everything, indoctrined everybody with this.

Oh, fantastic AIO. It's so great. And Farid Zakaria, the anti-constitutionalist on CNN, Global. Did he still have a show on CNN? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He does. You sure? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. He had on Karen Ho.

And she writes for the Atlantic and a freelancer. But they got into artificial intelligence. AGI is the holy grail for today's tech elite. It stands for artificial general intelligence. And AGI will be achieved when AI is as smart. as humans. The frenzy to get to that goal and others along the way has been responsible for a huge percent of U.S. GDP growth this year. But does this race make sense? And what are its costs? Journalist and author of the book, Empire of AI. Karen Howe joins me now. How? Empire of

AI. You can already guess that she's against everything, of course. So when people talk about the U.S. economy now, It's becoming increasingly clear that what is at the heart of the U.S. economy right now is just AI. There's one data point that seems to suggest that spending on artificial intelligence makes up over 40% of GDP growth this year. Jason Furman at Harvard says that in the last quarter it seems like it was 90% of growth. This is the reason why your legislation can't get past. There's no way. If they pull the rug on this thing, look out below. In the U.S. economy was all just AI spending.

When you look at the scale of this spending and what's the thing that worries you most? Is it the energy use because they need huge amounts of energy to make this work? Yeah, it is absolutely the environmental fallout from this kind of scale at all cost approach is astronomical. I mean, some of these these supercomputers that are being planned, OpenAI and Meta have both planned for facilities that would be the size of Manhattan, where one of those facilities would also use as much energy as New York City. And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out with a report that showed that base... So I've heard this twice now, that this is the second time I've heard it,

that they're going to build a server farm, the size of the, island of Manhattan. Manhattan? Manhattan. Bull crap. Yeah, that thing in that thing in West Texas is pretty big, John. It's not the size of the island of Manhattan. How big is the island of Manhattan? Well, it's a lot bigger than anything you can imagine to put a server farm or something like that. You to get from one end of the, it's ridiculous. Well, let's find out. Hey, error, how big is the island of Manhattan? Manhattan's pretty small. About 23 square miles.

But yeah. 23 square miles. All right. Hold on a second. Hey, error. How big is the AI data center farm in West Texas? Yes. There's a map coming over 5,000 acres near Abilene,

powered by up to 2 gigawatts for 1,000. 5,000 acres. How, okay. 5,000 acres, no, tell her. 23 square miles. isn't, 5,000 acres isn't even close to 23 square miles. Error. How many square miles is 5,000 acres?

5,000 acres is about 7.8 square miles. Okay, so it would have to be eight times bigger. Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm thinking that's possible. It's already too big. Well, I know it's too big the whole thing. But this is, they have, this is hyperscalers. We've got it very.

Is the Manhattan-sized deal going to be built? This is bull crap. They're just, I don't even know what the point of that is. It's just like, suck in more money. It's bull. It's nonsense. Yes. You're absolutely right.

Here's what Open AI says. Open, this is crazy. This is from CNBC. Open AI said on Monday, the U.S. needs to substantially ramp up its investment in new energy capacity. So it's obviously not just the data centers, but it is also the power. And, let's see, Open AI shared an 11-page submission

to the White House Office of Science Technology in which it encouraged the U.S. to commit to building 100 gigawatts of new energy capacity each year. 100 gigawatts each year. 10 gigawatts powers about 8 million households. They're crazy. But they're stuck in this loop. I think that's the point is they're stuck in this loop where the money is going from one end to the other.

The money can't go anywhere else because, well, we've got no other technology. It's going round and round and round. Yeah, but it's coming out of private equity. Everyone's pouring money. They have to do something with the money. And it's like musical chairs. It's like put your money in. Okay, get it out.

And then maybe put some more back in. Okay, we could put it in here and pull it out again. It goes round and round around. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Yes. And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out with a report that showed that based on a conservative scenario, all of these data centers would need to consume two states of California's worth of energy. And in an accelerated scenario, it would be six states of California. And that's just talking about the energy, but then what energy source are they using?

And when you look at the numbers, it's primarily fossil fuel. So they are... of natural gas. They are single-handedly revitalizing the natural gas and coal industries. That's an extraordinary amount of carbon emissions. That's not only accelerating climate change, but also leading to huge public health concerns

with the air pollution. We've seen some phenomenal reporting out of Memphis, Tennessee about the fact that GROC is being trained on a supercomputer called Colossus in Memphis that is being powered by 35 methane gas turbines that are pumping extraordinary amounts of pollutants into

this community's air. Pollutant. Pollutants. Well... Colossus, the Forbin Project. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's... Give me a break. That's Elon Musk. That's Musk, of course. So we'll interrupt this series with the latest news from Bill Gates, who, of course, is all in on the AI train and the power and everything that needs to go into it.

So what do you do? Backpedal on climate change. Climate is a super important problem. Super important. There's enough innovation here. to avoid super bad outcomes. Super bad. We won't achieve our best goal, the 1.5 or even the 2 degrees.

And as we go about trying to minimize that, we have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare, not just everything should be solely for climate. What happened to we're all going to die, Bill? When the climate activists who have been very supportive of what you've done and you've been very supportive of what they've done, read this. And if Greta Thunberg is reading this and saying to herself, my goodness, he seems like he is reversing himself.

What would you tell her? She's right, and she's a twerp. I'd say wasn't the goal here to improve human lives. No. And shouldn't we, in our awareness of how little generosity there is to help measure, you know, should we get them a measles? vaccine or should we do some climate related activity? And if we could take, if we stop funding all vaccines and that, you know, saved you point one degree, would that be a smart

tradeoff? That's the kind of question we have to ask. So let's just stop this and go back for a second to 2021, CBS News. In fact, we're all familiar with the fallout from this global pandemic that we've now been living with for almost a year. And you write in the book, the loss of life and economic misery caused by this pandemic are on par with what will happen regularly if we do not eliminate the world's carbon emissions. Sounds a little different to me. Then it wasn't the goal just a better life, everybody? This is so obvious what he's doing here. Yeah, he's worried.

sick that the climate people are going to stop the forward progress of the AI bullcrap. Yes. And, but who is to blame for this according to Karen? How? I mean, at some level, is this a testosterone-fueled competition among some very ambitious, egotistical men? Really? Mark Zuckerberg, testosterone-fueled? Really?

Elon Musk? Testosterone fueled? They look more low-teat. me. Absolutely. I mean, it's, it's not a coincidence that every single tech billionaire has their own AI company now. And they're all jostling to position their AI company as somehow superior to the others. They're basically trying to refashion AI in their image. And that's why none of them are actually collaborating and they're all trying to race on ultimately a technology that is commoditized. They're racing to get out before the other guy loses. And it is, you've musical

chairs is the best analogy. Here she is on that. This is the return on investment. So when you look at the landscape now, these companies are racing into the future. The Trump administration is not particularly regulating or restraining them in any way. Can this just go on? I mean, these companies are

very rich, but at some point, don't they need to show a return on this investment? Absolutely. I mean, I think we are in a huge bubble that is going to pop. There's going to be a massive market correction at some point that could have ripple effects across the global economy. When you look at the cash balance of these companies,

they are spending trillions in the next few years to build out all of this computational infrastructure, and they've only achieved tens of billions in revenue. Tens of billions versus trillions just doesn't make sense as a balance sheet. And you can see that the companies are really trying to figure out how to close that gap. Initially, they tried subscriptions, but they discovered that actually the average person

is unwilling to pay for this technology, and businesses are no longer adopting these technologies with paying for subscriptions either. And so now the reason why I think OpenAI is ultimately adding feeds into Chatubit and creating an AI-generated TikTok is because they are going to make an advertising play. And they're going to try and fill the gap with advertising revenue. But when you look at something like Google, which has some of the largest ad revenue, they haven't last year they didn't even achieve $300 billion worth of ad revenue that's and that is one of the most successful advertising businesses in the history of the world and so how are they going to fill the trillions of dollars as spending it's just not possible no yeah it is open AI has a plan now to the latest shift in AI shopping PayPal is the latest partner with open AI to create a digital wallet embedded into chat GPT PayPal CEO says the feature will allow merchants to sell sell and shoppers to buy directly through the platform.

The move helps to broaden open AI's efforts to use chat chagintry for e-commerce. It recently announced similar partnerships with Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy. PayPal is aiming to position itself as the go-to purchase portal in the AI arena. The digital wallet is expected to roll out early next year. You know, this is always the beginning of the end and then it's, oh, we'll just do advert. We'll just run ads so bad now that this is what Samsung is doing. with their fridge for refrigerators next samsung is getting a chilly reception over plans to launch ads on some smart fridges the ads are expected to roll out next week they'll appear in the front screen

of the company's family hub line which has a starting price of two thousand dollars many customers will be relieved to know they can turn off the ads oh yeah just run ads on my fridge okay but then it seems and i'm i don't know if you talked about this on d hm plug but this is this is the latest now this is how we do two things. One, we prove that AI is working. Two, we reduce our overall spending. So Amazon's saying this morning, it's going to lay off about 14,000 corporate employees as it restructures for the AI era, marking the latest move in a multi-year effort to streamline operations and shift resources toward its biggest bets, including generative AI. Now, in blog post, Amazon's HR chief, Beth Galetti said that the cuts are aimed at reducing layers and bureaucracy so that the

company can move faster. She called AI the most transformative technology since the internet and said Amazon needs to be leaner to keep pace. The company has about 350,000 corporate employees, meaning that the confirmed cuts affect roughly 4% of that workforce. But what I will say is that those layoffs are expected to become the largest corporate job cuts in Amazon's history. Reuters reporting the total could go as high as 30,000. And the company did signal this morning that more layoffs are likely in the year ahead, even as it continues hiring in key strategic areas. It was also just as June that CEO Andy Jassy warned AI adoption would lead to fewer roles in some parts of the business.

Very good job. It's a lot of management, McKenzie, sentence, especially for a company that you think of as pretty well run and lean and mean. What were they all doing? I don't get it. What were they doing? It's definitely AI related, is it not? Yeah, I think it's a combination of internal efficiencies through generative AI tech and that affect internal workflows. But then, crucially, look at cuts at Microsoft, 15,000 people. Now we're talking about 14,000 at Amazon, potentially more. These are the two main hyperscalers. They've committed to spend around $120 billion in this fiscal year on buildout.

A lot of that having to do with servicing their AI customers. So we're going to see what their KAPX numbers are when they report just this week, Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. of course. Oh, it works great. I think Joe Kernan's question was correct. What were those people doing? What were they doing that you can get rid of them? 12,000. There was 350,000 corporate people. The number we noticed, horror was noted, on the DHS unplug show, is that actually Amazon has 1.5 million people. Getting rid of 30,000 is nothing. No, I'm with you, but I still want to know what they were doing. Were they changing? They were doing, whatever. Any

of them doing unless they're dropping a package off and if you haven't noticed they take forever to do that. And then meanwhile, none of these companies with all their hyperscaler noise can even keep their own crap running. All right now we've got a developing story on some tech outages happening right now. Let's go out to McKenzie Segalos in San Francisco for more on that. Mac. I know some people out there are experiencing some latency with regard to their access. What's going on? So, Don, we're seeing reports on down-detector of outages at Google Cloud and Microsoft's Azure hours before both companies report quarterly earnings. Microsoft's investment relations page where it posts those results is currently not loading.

Now, I'm out to Alphabet and haven't heard back, but the Azure support account is acknowledging the outage, saying that they're investigating an issue impacting their cloud service, the company adding that customers may be experiencing issues accessing the portal. This comes after last week's 15-hour Amazon Webster. services outage that took down numerous major websites. AWS, though, telling me that they are operating normally right now. This is, you know, the world always goes from centralization to decentralization. I think we're about ready for the pendulum to swing back. Well, I'm now thinking about the Manhattan-sized monster server farm that gets filled up

with rats that's so chewing on things. The next thing, you know, the whole world goes down. Well, yeah, I mean, just imagine everybody's using AI and then Azure goes down or, you know, the data sender goes down. Then what's going to happen? You can't rely, have your business relying on that. I mean, it's bad enough. Office 365 went down. People couldn't get to their email.

You know, wait until they can't get to their chat bot. We'll have zombies walking. Oh, I can't make a decision. Time code. Seriously. You know, it's like podcasting is a pretty good deal right now. Decentralized. Yeah, it's free.

No ads. I mean, at least not on our show. I'm not going to throw an ad in your face. Ooh, just shop, shop something. It's free. It's free. Gold. Gold.

Well, those gold guys made out pretty well with how gold went. Yeah, well, I'm not saying that gold's not a good idea. Hey, Ben Shapiro. We're not, it doesn't mean we have to sell it. Ben Shapiro told me to buy gold and he was right. So, uh, let's listen to the mayor race catch up at the mayor. Can I just play this one last clip because this was the stupid. This is, it's in the same theme.

It's in the same theme, yes. And, uh, sure play. And you had your valid point. on D.H. Unplugged where you said when your, your signal, the signal that the market is about. Oh, you're right. The signal to sell. Yes, please explain the cell signal that you use. Well, actually, Horowitz does too. The cell signal I use is that if you have people that should not be in the stock market or know anything much about it, started asking if they should be in the stock market. And the first time I, the best version of this signal was when I was at Tech TV. and one of the camera girls came up to me in 99,

just like months before the dot-com collapsed. And she says, do you think I should invest in the stock market? I was thinking about buying some shares in Jupiter and the Jupiter networks. And I said, have you been in this? Do you trade? Do you ever been in the market? No.

But I hear it's like, you know, she went on. So the other night at dinner, one of the people at the dinner, and I didn't say who, says, you think it's a good time to get into the stock market. And I'm thinking, well, okay, no. No. And so that's a signal.

It's always called, it's a public signal that. And Horowitz notices it with some of his clients. He says there's these, if you have, if you're in the business and you have a lot of different clients, there's always one or two you can count on to buy it to be wrong all the time. Yeah, buy at the top, sell at the bottom. And you know this for working for. decades in the business and the fact that they have been wrong all the time for decades and

decades. This is a gold mine to me, as far as I'm concerned, you've got somebody like that. So you're saying we should go short? Just the opposite. We should go short, short, short the market. Well, you know, you should short the market if you don't know what the hell you're doing. Because you could actually shorting the market could result in going completely broke. So this to me was peak, peak AI, peak tech, peak everything, peak Silicon Valley. And I'm sure you saw this. This is the Wall Street General Report reporter who got the home, the first humanoid home robot.

And the company is run by a Swedish CEO, you know, with like longish blonde hair, you know, with the accent and everything. I'm like, this, this is it. This is the end. Oh, and by the way, the thing is run by anonymous Indians. It's here, the first humanoid robot housekeeper. Thank you, Neo. For $20,000, you can pre-order 1X's Neo Robot Now, with delivery in 2026.

I think you missed a tiny spot over here. Just one little catch. There may be a human behind the curtain, pulling the robot strings. If I throw up, will the robots throw up? A company representative may need to peer into your house via Neo's camera eyes to get things done. This is many people. This is crazy. You have to be okay with this for the product to be useful. But is Neo a useful product? We're twinning now, Neo.

Home robots have had two big challenges, creating a safe and capable body and a smart brain. OneX is taking on both of those, which is why Neo looks so different from a more industrial factory robot. Neo, it's 70 degrees here in California. Why are you wearing a sweater? Good question. Byrne, why am I wearing a sweater? It's a combination of safety and just also generally aesthetics. You can think of it kind of like a skin, except if it was an actual skin, that would probably be pretty creepy.

It would be creepy. But I actually wasn't all that creeped out by Neo. Inside Neo, it really starts with some very, very powerful motors that we have developed here at 1X. These motors are so strong and light. that instead of using the classical gears that you see in robots, we can actually pull on tendons, loosely inspired by biology and muscles. This allows Neo to move around not just quietly and smoothly, but also be very, very lightweight and be very low energy in motion, just like people.

So $126 million invested in this company. Who has been leading the rounds? Open AI. Wow. Yeah, okay. And again, making a human-like robot, that's the dumbest thing ever. It's dumb. My vacuum robot is great.

It does not look like a human pushing a vacuum cleaner. The end is near. I'm counting on it. Well, you'd have to find a jump to shark point. And maybe that might be it. But then we still have to wait another couple years. Years, really? Years?

Yeah? Okay. All right, years. All right, back Back to you, Bob. Well, let's look at the Mayorio Race in New York and how, let's catch up to it with these two clips. NYC. Yes, got it.

And here in New York City, early voting began on Saturday, and already more than 300,000 people have cast their ballots. Entities Arlene Richard spoke with voters in Chelsea, Manhattan, who talked about their choices for the city's next mayor. On day four of early voting in New York City, we visited a polling place on 28th Street in Chelsea at FIT's Feldman Building. The afternoon was slow, but early voting

has hit record numbers as New Yorkers make some tough decisions. Some of the latest polls indicate that former Governor Andrew Cuomo is narrowing the gap, now trailing frontrunner Zoron Mamdani by 10 points. Mamdani is polled at 43 percent, Cuomo, at 13.combo at third. Down from 20 points a month ago. New York icon Curtis Sliwa is also picking up some votes, but still lags behind in last place at about 15%. Now that voting has started, it's a race against the clock. All three candidates were out canvassing on Saturday.

Mamdani spent part of the day Monday at a polling site on the Upper East Side and campaigned in the Bronx on Wednesday. While Sliwa hit the subway stations a day after early voting started and greeted Staten Island voters at the ferry terminal Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, Cuomo teamed up with Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor David Patterson on Tuesday and headed to Staten Island later on Wednesday. Voters on Wednesday were excited about the mayor race. I am waiting with bated breath because, as we can all tell with polls, they mean nothing.

I don't know. I'm with you. I think he's going to sweep it. It can't be Cuomo. Nobody wants Cuomo. That's the problem. There's no candidates. It's stupid. There's issues that make it almost impossible for Cuomo to win. But you never know at the last minute.

But here we go, part two. One voter said he chose Mom Donnie because he's concerned about his children's future. A lot of the things that he's looking to do, I don't need health care for my children. They're already college age and all that. and a lot of the other things that he's talking about with rent civilization, I own my home, so I don't have to worry about that. But I do see how that's very beneficial to other people inside the city and want to be able to look towards the future

and where my kids come back to the city after college, what are they going to be able to be able to live like? He also praised one of the other candidates. I think that Slee was very entertaining and is definitely a real New York. I think that he has the heart of New York in his best interests. So I am a fan of that. Franz said Cuomo's campaign was too negative toward Mamdani. Voter Dave Ron, who was born and raised in the Chelsea area, voted for Sliwa. Curliss Slewa stood up against a lot of people that I don't think Cuomo and Mandarmi

would have the goal to do. You know, and I think that's big because a lot of... Native New Yorkers are losing their voice here in New York City because of the way the city has grown and the city has changed. It's changed for good reasons. It's changed for bad reasons. But I'll tell you, being a New Yorker since before the bike lanes, I'll tell you that this is a very, very important time in our city. And I think dealing with somebody who knows New York, who knows the politicians in New York, who has never done anything to be cast aside in New York and who stood up for New Yorkers, whether they were black, white, yellow, Puerto Rican, or

Haitian, or whether there were Democrat, independence, or Republicans. He stood up there with his red beret, shoulder to shoulder with other real New Yorkers, and I think he's the one to save New York. That would be amazing if that happened. I doubt that. Yeah, it's not going to happen. I've always liked Slewer, though. You know, I was there in the 80s when he was, his, his dudes, his guardian angels were riding the subways.

It was good. Everyone, we're heroes. We loved them. But let's, uh, let's tabletop. Let's war game this, John. So, Mondami clearly has to be a cutout. I mean, he's, he's not really going to make any decisions. It's, this to me reeks of AOC, you know, he's an actor.

He literally is an actor. Yeah, I agree. So it's a capture of. he's good he's got a nice smile yeah no he's he's perfect got the beard which is hot it's it's oh really is it hot thank you for that info it's hot okay yeah that's what jd vans has to have a beard jd vans if he gave the same speech without the beard you wouldn't he'd be he's just not doesn't look good no he looks like rush limbaugh without the beard yeah almost exactly yeah well i don't know is the Is it this election coming up in the week?

Next week, yeah, the 5th, 5th of November? Yeah, the 4th or 5th or something like that. Well, clearly, I can't see Mondani not winning. That'll be interesting. And I don't think New York's going to fall apart. I don't think so. Oh, no, it falls apart naturally. But all the young people, they're voting for them.

They're like, yeah, freeze my rent, bro. they're actually going for it. Yet no one ever voted for the rents too high guy. Whatever happened to him? I think you died. Did he? Well, I don't know, for sure. Hmm. Rent too high.

That was reported. Was that the guy with the boot on his head? I don't know who that guy. Who did the got the boot on his head? No, that was the guy who was going to give everybody a free pony. And then, of course, you know, for some reason, it's crazy, but Manning got no traction. We love Manning. Manning would be great for New York.

It's not going to happen. No, Manning is a maniac. Yes, that's what we like about him. So unless you have something else, just an off-the-wall clip, which I was... I do have the off-the-wall clip. Well, we'll do two off-the-wall clips. You go first. I have one?

I have one. Yeah, I mean, off-the-wall... Well, I have the rant of the month. Oh, no. We'll do that next. So this was ABC about the new supersonic jet. You heard about this? The X-59 supersonic jet? No, the last jet I heard about was the F-47.

Well, no, this is not a fighter jet. This is a jet that would be for passengers or cargo. A new passenger. I've heard talk about different things that are designing. But this report is so wrong because we, We know exactly what happened with supersonic jets. And I'll just reiterate because we were even, were we doing the show?

I don't think we're doing the show. You had the Concord and the Concord was great. I've flown the Concord. It was fun. New York to London and three and a half hours, groovy. I have lots of stories about it. And then they had a Concord that was rented out for a German company to fly their employees around.

crashes and burns everybody dies like oh this thing because they ran over a piece of metal on the runway that pierced i think the wing and maybe the tank and so that was the official reason and so they they said okay your your airworthiness certificate is gone until you fix all these problems and they got their airworthiness certificate back and do you remember what day the concord was supposed to fly again? No, I do not. September 11th, 2001. Oh.

So it never came back into service. It was fine. Its sonic boom was over the ocean, so it didn't bother anybody, and you couldn't land it at every single airport. But this report is just filled with errors. It's called the X-59, and it could be this century's Concord.

NASA's experimental jet taking off yesterday on its first test. flight over the California Desert, built to flying 925 miles per hour, nearly twice as fast as today's commercial airliners. The X-59 is designed to be the first aircraft to break the sound barrier quietly. How is that even possible? Is it really possible to break? Yeah, it is. Okay. There's been, I've seen the papers on this. There's some way of taking the, it's, it's, it does something. There's a way of doing it. They, they create some sort of fake turbulence or something that breaks up to the boom.

Okay. Quietly. Maticulously engineered, it produces a gentle thump, a mere whisper compared to the disruptive booms of the past. The explosive-like sonic boom is why commercial supersonic flight has been banned over the U.S. It can startle people. It can rattle windows and cause problems. Even military flights are restricted in certain areas because the shockwaves can cause so much disturbance on the ground. But the X-59's unique shape turns that boom into more of a thump, no louder than slamming a car door.

You may recall, the supersonic Concord flew for decades until it was retired in 2003 due to high operating costs and fading demand. No. No, not true. There was total demand for it. It was only allowed to. Yeah, that's wrong. Can I say something quickly? Yeah.

When I was a little kid, little boy. it was still legal to to fly over the U.S. at supersonic speeds that's how long ago we were flying supersonic we were flying supersonic yeah I think in the 50s yeah and um you hear the boom once in a while yeah and it was loud yeah but this but the con but it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it didn't startling I mean it was just like oh there's there's a jet Yeah. It's what you said to yourself. It wasn't a big deal.

Yeah, but she's making it sound like, oh, because of the boot. This is basically a commercial for Lockheed. It wasn't because it was loud and people didn't want to fly. It was because it crashed and then nobody wanted to fly after 2001 and then it just went away. Due to high operating costs and fading demand, it was only allowed to hit supersonic speeds over the ocean. The X-59, without that deafening sonic boom, could. be a game changer. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy saying it

has the potential to change the way the public flies. An X-plane is a symbol of our collective ambition to redefine the future. And in this case, it's the future of supersonic travel. The test flight yesterday is being called a significant aviation milestone.

Supersonic travel could be especially important for medical transportation and disaster relief. Okay. All right. Yeah. Government contracts. You know, there was a supersonic boom I would in the era of the show there was a supersonic boom around here some years ago it was an accident I think while we were doing the show yeah well no not no not during the show I did have a uh Osprey come across the oh several yes I remember that sure the osprey was like

what is this thing coming at me um but no it was this during the day and it you know you tell I knew it was a supersonic boom, but it was like, it's not that bad that it frightens you or it's deafening. No. They just exaggerate everything. It was annoying if it was, yeah, if you had a million, like a hundred jets constantly making the boom sound,

it would be, yeah, that would be not, not be fun. No. Anyway. Okay, so we have, this is the last clip before we go to the break. This will be the, uh, of the day. So I heard the Attorney General in Michigan's going after the Trump administration for the SNAP

benefits and here's the thing, or suing them because they're not releasing SNAP benefits. What people don't know in this country is they voted 12 times the Republicans came through with just a SNAP benefit in the military bill and the Democrats have voted it down 12

times because reality is this and this is what's happening in the country. They need illegals in this country. That's why they're fighting for health care for them. you. They don't care if you die, okay? Just like they didn't care what happened to our elderly in COVID. Let's see, they built a $9 million hospital, a satellite hospital, a Kobo Hall in Detroit. And instead of sending the COVID positive elderly patients there, it only saw like nine people. Instead of sending them there, they sent them back into the nursing home so they could get a

high death count. Yes, so they could get a high death count. Because did you not ever question people weren't dying in the streets, but if they went to the hospitals, they didn't make it. Because the ventilators weren't working. They knew they weren't working. They were purposely killing people. And I'm not going to sit here after what's happened to my family and everybody else in this state and all these Democratic states. And sit here and say, it's okay. The Republicans are bad people. There are some bad Republicans for sure. But I'm going to tell you, this playbook you played in COVID, which is, let's see, bankrupt small businesses, destroy our elderly, house our children, imprison them, don't let them go to school

so they're years behind, shut down everything, and that's what you're doing now. You're sacrificing your own people and people that need food because you want to win an election and you want to win power and you will do anything to make people look bad because that's the only way you can win. I am sick of it. I am so sick and tired that these people have power over us and they decide the fates of our lives. The American dream is gone because they sell us out. And how long has she been a no agenda listener? Oh, man. Yeah. It's a good one. Spot on. Spot on. That's right. Democrats are doing it. Yeah, absolutely. Nonsense. We'll see. Well, if it goes into November, a lot of interesting things will happen. A lot of interesting things will happen. Well, yeah.

I'd say. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for, well, I was going to say, in fact, Walmart's decided they're going to close a lot of stories and put cops all over the place because they're taking it seriously. Yeah. I heard some black TikTokers saying, this is great, some dudes, like, this is great. You're finally going to have to go back to the man that you left for the get the snap benefits is going to reunite the black American family. you know there's a logic to that it's total logic to it and that uh yeah well it's a mess john it's just a mess but now i would like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the champagne socialist say hello to my friend on the other end the one

the only mr john c de morris yeah in the morning dear miss adam curing the morning or ships to sea boost on the ground feeding the interceptions in the water and all the names In the morning, trolls, how you doing? Don't move. Let me tell you. One thousand and twelve trolls. We're down about 180. But we'll take as many trolls as we can get.

And boy, are they trolling today. Oh, my Lord, they are trolling away. They've gone nuts. Well, but that's good. Get it out of your system in the troll room. That's what the troll room is for. Blah, blah. Not that Trump is fake.

Nothing's going to happen. Israel runs everything. Israel runs everything. That is my troll impersonation. Calm down, trolls. It's okay. If you get dizzy, just look at the ground. It'll all go away.

It'll all be fine. So they're listening at noagenda stream.com or perhaps using one of those fancy modern podcast apps, you owe it to yourself to get one of those so that you can be alerted when we go live. Many other shows on the No Agenda stream go live. You can listen to it. live in a podcast app. No other legacy app does that. And of course, when we publish our show,

the ones that use PodPing, look at the handy-dandy little chart there, you will be notified within 90 seconds that the show has been published. Why wait around on your legacy app when you can get your no agenda fix the minute you want it? We, the minute it's available. Jam it right in the vein, deep. We're in our 19th year now. Is that, is it, we're in our 19th year, right? Yeah, we celebrate 18, so we're in a 19th year? There's always controversy over that. No, we're starting our 19th year. Okay, we're starting our 19th, 19 years.

What a run this has been. What a run. It's been amazing. It's gun smoke. We are in gun smoke territory. That's right. And we've done it value for value. This is what amazes people.

And we're just like gun smoke. We're black and white while everyone else is in color and video. That's correct. There was a couple of articles that came across the transom. This was kind of an interesting point about Patreon-supported journalism. It really can't be the future of news. And this article highlights a number of people who write about news, who do news stuff. And I'm sure they have podcasts.

And they monetize through Patreon. And the problem with Patreon is that, you know, it's not really value for value. It's like subscribe to my Patreon, you know, get one of those levels. You get a tote bag or a hat. And, you know, it's, and I've been trying to explain this to some people. It's like, the reason why that doesn't work is because you have all these $5 a month subscribers. And if you don't do what they want to hear, then they cancel. And with us, it's like, there's no canceling.

You just don't, if you didn't get value out of the show, he didn't like it. Although the amount of people that say, I don't. agree with you, but what you're doing is worth it, you know, then send us whatever value you think it's worth. That system works. You know, we're going to die saying this. And how many people will actually successfully deploy the value for value model? I think under 50. You know what I mean? That are really doing value for value. And of course, the other big mistake is you have to have an outstanding product. This is what people don't understand. There's a system to it. We have explained this system so many times. I've been trying to get Laura Logan to do it. I said,

you're going to starve doing this show. You do great. You're really good at what you do. But then all of a sudden you break away in the middle of your interview and like talk about some coffee. It's like, you know, we get our coffee. We like the coffee. We talk about the coffee. And the guy gives us 200 bucks a show. But it's not an ad. And if we didn't like the coffee, we'd say we don't like the coffee. Am I right?

We wouldn't talk about it. Yeah, pretty much. We don't have any obligation. No. I mean, we, same with the tip of the day. And even better, we don't have any meetings with them. We don't have to meet. Like, oh, there's the real killer.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't like how to. Or having to talk. Or not even the meeting. Just having to talk. with an advertiser who wants to talk about something. Just a chat.

You know, we're really not seeing an ROI on our... Can you use a code? By the way, Tina got a lot of response to her crowd health. I told it that people should email Tina at curry.com. And we're getting our kids on this now, too. Because we got a kid in New York. she has she got a quote for the the marketplace you know that's the obamacare marketplace if you don't have a yeah an employer 600 dollars a month and she's not even 30

come on as you go with one that's that brings us to the bonus clip for the for the donation segment oh i didn't know you had a bonus clip what are we doing the 20k ripoff insurance oh my goodness, here we go. Of all people in the United States, do not use their benefits past their deductible. Period. Wow. That's a huge. And do you know what the average deductible? Well, what's the average premium now? Do you know? So it just went over $20,000. And if you're a union employee, remember unions, unions, I've helped unions in the past, and I think a lot of them, they do all first dollar coverage, meaning they have no co-pays, no deductibles, no co-insurance. And so the way that they've done there's, they're at 28 to 30,000, depending on who you talk to.

Like, I've talked to people at the UAW. I've talked to people at steel, the candy makers. I've talked to a bunch of different ones. And so there's somewhere in there. But, I mean, you start thinking about $20,000 a year. Now, the Republicans have been very good about talking about the federal budget and how much the deficit is crushing us. But I really think the number one problem in America, the number one problem in America is

stealing thousands of dollars from not only working Americans, but also what I would call middle Americans, right? Those were making $80,000 to $120,000. They have a normal house. They have two car payments. They're both working. And they're just normal families, like trying to do their thing. Their kids are in sports. There's normal people. And instead of us helping them retire, we're stealing $2,000 a month from them to pay in order in amounts of money to print. Yeah, exactly. Tina and I were paying $1,600 a month. And we're healthy. You know, it's like, Okay. And we had a deductible of some of some ridiculous amount, like $15,000 deductible. Yeah. So, yeah, it's a year's worth of payments. Yeah. So it's worthless.

And it's worthless. And what we were doing and what we would try is we do cash payment. Of course, because we knew we could never satisfy the deductible unless something catastrophic happened. And you can get it for 30 cents on the dollar. They're happy. The medical community, they don't like it. had clips on the i had clips i don't have them of various nurses saying that they would tell somebody that they're deductible for getting an x-ray of some sort is it will be could be up to a hundred dollars for that for the one x-ray or you can go to this other x-ray service with a cash deal and get the same x-ray for 30 yeah exactly exactly and so what these outfits like crowd health do they negotiate with the medical provider on your behalf and then because you pay into the

system i think she pays 200 bucks a month that if something happens then the whole system pays for you i think i should get the kids on this crowd health thing seriously the kids need this yeah i agree and the only you can't be a smoker though you got to be honest about it if you're luckily we none of none of my kids are smokers good and and this is a good to tina i mean women always have more stuff than men in I think. And, you know, they have a, they have some preventative stuff, which is rare for a, for a, like a crowdfunding outfit. And they have, you know, if you're pregnant, no problem. Cancer, no problem. They have a prescription plan. It's, I'm amazed that this is not, that people don't know more about this. And I love it because it's Americans working together. You think the TV people are going to talk about this? No, you're right. These guys

were so hard up, they went to the Bitcoin community. They were at Bitcoin conferences. Yeah, man, we're a Bitcoin company. No, you're not, but we love what you're doing anyway. Code Bongino, Tina will hook you up. So where was it? What was I talking about? I don't know.

He was talking about something to do with premium insurance. You said that your kids had to pay 600 bucks or something. It was something else before. The Obamacare was no good. Somehow it came into the value for value. I'm not sure. Let's just thank people. Oh, that's right.

You were talking about Patreon. Yeah. Oh, that, how did I get off of that? So Patreon, the problem is that, you know, people will then, they get captured. It's audience capture because they're so afraid of losing subscribers where. Yeah, but if you say I'm listening to a podcast and I subscribe to their podcast via Patreon and it's just sending them the money.

Yeah. So I go to Patreon. And I fill out the forms and they take five bucks a month or whatever. But Patreon takes 10% by the way. Okay, which is too much. Yes. So they take 10% of the money. And then does the podcast get my emailing address so they can send me emails?

I think so. That I don't know. Are you sure? No. I'm not sure. But my point is a little different than that. The whole idea is send value when you. feel you got value. Don't let me be captured by, oh, we don't want to lose subscribers.

And that's, this is bad. You get bad product. And we're honest. I mean, if we've been on Patreon with our Israel rap, man, we'll be broke. Because you know, we're not, we're not getting Jew money. That's for sure. Yeah, where's our Jew money, by the way? Jews are very low on the payment. We haven't been getting much Muslim money either. I might add by the hint out there to our friend. Yeah, well, I figure he's in some country where it's hard to get to a... Well, once they did the peace deal, he disappeared. Oh, good point.

Did you notice that? Yeah, peace deal done. Okay. So he thinks we were keeping Trump going. Is that what his thinking was? I have no idea. So part of the value for value is three T's time, talent, treasure. You can do a lot to help the show.

You can turn people onto the show. You know, there's no algos and podcasting. There's no, you know, every, everything that has been tried has always failed. People hear about podcasts from other people. And then when they hear about it, they give it a try. And we call it hitting in the mouth because you need to smack somebody pretty hard before they, the first guy like, oh, these guys are Republicans.

Oh, these guys are anti-vaxxers. It takes a little bit to figure out what we are and what we aren't. Yeah. We're not anti-vaxers and we're not Republicans. No. And we also, we are. are open to criticism. And I love the people who are saying, hey, you know, maybe if you didn't read those

critical notes on the show, then you wouldn't get so many. Like, this is a feature of the show. I mean, that, but it's, I said to the guy that you're talking about who made that comment, it's a opportunity for Adam to do his, erked a hole. And it's a great voice. We love listening to it. anybody has to practice. Yeah, I need practice, so send more, please.

You can't just do it once every six months. So part of the time, talent, and treasure is doing artwork for the show. And, of course, I've been complaining for a long time about the prompt jockeys and the degradation and quality of art. And then, out of the blue left field, she must have been working on her for a while. The original Dutch master, Tontanil, comes back with a vengeance, brings us 18 years of media deconstruction, a beautiful piece of art that we used for 1811.

That was our 18th anniversary show titled the N.A. era. This just had everything in it. And we agreed that she had to be working on this for a long time. Yeah. And it was not. It was not AI. This had to be done in advance of the show. Yeah.

And it was not, not AI. This was no, no way. I mean, I see, that's impossible. I'm seeing swine flu. I'm seeing drones. I'm seeing, oh, man, like the MH-13 plane. It masks, BLM, Brexit. I mean, and it's cryptic.

Now, not all of it is immediately, you have to look at it. Like, what does she mean by this? Oh, I, oh, I see. You had the PBS logos. I mean, everything was in that. Transgender. All of it's in there. It was really, it was a.

beautiful piece. Thank you, Tontenille. We love you. We appreciate that you did that work for us. Don't let me see. Don't look at that. Where I'm trying to find, there it is, it's on page two. Yeah. Yeah, I looked at this thing trying to get the code from it. They got the whirl on fire, which was a global warming, guy throwing a melatoff cocktail, a pangolin. Yep. See the pangolin? Yeah. Bitcoin, a cross. Celebrate your. Yeah, notice how Bitcoin is early on, how we We miss that. Beanie Babies.

We miss that one. Now, there's kind of a next to the Capitol building. There's a guy standing there with his arms outreach. I don't know what that one is. Let me see. See the Trump fits out to the lower right. There's a Trump head than the Capitol building and there's somebody. Maybe that's a statue that's taken down.

Not sure. I'm not sure. Ice cream coal from Biden. I see. I see the little COVID thing. We got a goat. We got peak oil. We've got, yeah, all kinds of stuff. It's ridiculously great. Yeah. The farmer protests. The Queen of England's on there. Trump's on there. It's beautiful. It's a piece to be framed, I would say. It's framable. It's completely frameable. Thank you, Tonsonil. We really appreciate that. And we thank you all of the artists who are always trying to get something. into the system.

And by the way, if you're having trouble uploading, it has to be the exact dimensions, the exact amount of pixels. That's why it might reject your artwork. And so we come to the treasure portion. We thank everybody, $50 and above. And, of course, if you are fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more,

we will not only read your note. We got some long ones today. But we'll also give you an official Hollywood title, of associate executive producer, which is real. You can go to IMDB.com. You'll see a lot of them over a thousand. And if it's $300 or more, then there's a lot of different things that can happen.

First of all, we'll read your note. You become an executive producer. And we have the No Agenda International Peace Prize, and we see right off the top that we have a couple of people who are getting ready to receive their international peace prize. Do we have a photograph yet of, do we have the art, the image that is on this,

so people can see it, that up and available? I think we're like front running the campaign. Oh, that's coming. It's been, we just need to, there's a couple of pieces of gear, uh, uh, stuff that needs to be, it was ordered from Amazon or we're just waiting for it. Okay. Paper. No, paper. Oh, paper. Yes. I clean up my, uh, my studio the other day. I'm like, wow, I have, I need to hang these up. Still have my Commodore. I haven't hung up. Oh, yeah, you got to hang all this stuff. So we kick it off today with our top

executive producer with $1,0.30.26, which I guess is fees. From Momentum Finance LLC in Eden, Utah. And the note is short. It's always that way. Happy humpaday, dames and gentlemen. Well, probably sent it on Wednesday. Check out Ad Astra Rev. Liptonite. Very cryptic. Cryptic note here. Do you know what this is? about? No. Well, thank you very much, Momentum Finance LLC. We will check out Ad Astra Rev Liptonite. Thank you. The mayor of Cyprus. No note. No jingle. It came into $1,018. It says no note, no nothing for more

years, which is a note, by the way. That is a note. That's an official note. Anonymous swings by from Mandeville, Louisiana, 526, 36, probably 500 plus the fees. Dear Adam and John, Anonymous says, congratulations. I'm making 18 years of the Noah General show. I've been listening since around show 300 or so. This donation either gets me close to Night Hood or puts me across the finish line, but it's been so long since I've donated. I can't be sure anymore. Well, what happened? I'm sure you'll let me know.

Well, you don't have a color, so I guess you didn't quite make it. There are too many things that make your show great to list them in a pithy donation email. But first among equals is that you play the most primary and secondary source reporting of any new show in the marketplace today. Yes, you're both funny. The sound quality is great. The jingles are fun. The producers are top-notch and so on and so forth. But the real value is that in a three-hour block of time,

a listener more or less gets fully caught up with not just the current news of the day, but all the narratives and memes that increasingly informed that news coverage. And you do it without advertising because you've embraced the value-for-value model. Not even Joe Rogan can say that. One day, the both of you will decide to hang it up. And while you'll have certainly earned your retirement, let me check my 401K. It'll be a sad day for us listeners.

Until then, well done, Adam and John. Thank you for your continued service. If I've made Knighthood, let me know one day and I'll choose some sort of pseudo-anonymous name. Well, I'm sure we will be in touch with you about that. Thank you, Anonymous. All right. Onward Sir Cristobal in Dallas, Texas, 333333, this came in, I guess, through strike or stripe. And it's got no note, no, no, nothing.

So he gets a double up karma. Here it comes. You've got. All right. Sarah Campbell is in Franklin, Indiana, 33, our favorite number. ITM, gentlemen, happy anniversary. Adam, please read this note in your hate mail voice. It's hard to do when it's not a hateful email. No, you can only do it. He's, he is channeling when he does that voice and there's nothing here to channel. I'm going to try.

I can try. I mean, I'll just have to envision these. Assume it that he's being sarcastic about everything. Then you can... Even though both my husband and I are unpaid air traffic controllers right now, we had to donate because the value we received from Adam's reading of hate mail and JCD's reaction while he reads it. I can't speak for my husband.

But when I'm listening to the show, not watching some like Silicon Valley nerd, I am laughing and fully enjoying your dynamic. This is so hard to do. You both are invaluable. You both are invaluable. I can't do it. I can't do it. It's not hateful.

Do it with, I got a better idea. Yeah. Do it in the Dutch accent. You both are invaluable. But I've taken the time to assign you, use the value of 333 in hopes that you'll continue to receive hate mail. and share it with us for four more years. Anonymous unpaid controller and his wife.

Thank you very much. Can I comment on your Dutch accent? Yes. I don't think you stutter enough when you do it. That's only Ruta. The Dutch don't really stutter. Ruta stutters. Okay.

Well, so now we go to our first associate executive producer, which brings me to the fact that Dana Brunetti He sent a note in for his donation, which I don't see on here. Oh, there it is at the bottom. I see it. Oh, and he gave, okay, I thought he, the way the note was written, it seemed to me that he was going for executive producer because he hates. Associate executive producer? Yeah, he hates it.

Well, he didn't send in enough, uh, Jew money. No, I know. He actually sent, you did it on purpose. So, you know, he's a character. Oh. Yeah. Believe it or not. Uh-huh.

Meanwhile, some are worth, I guess, in Standish, Maine to 1060? Yeah. ITMGN's after your recent mention of Maine's Graham Platner, that's a Nazi tattoo guy. Oh, yeah. I figure it was my duty to write in and share what I know about the newest Democrat Stoge. This past summer, I found myself eating dinner at an establishment in Maine-owned by Graham Platner's mom. She chatted with me, chatted me up while I was sitting at the bar as she was preparing for a fundraising event.

She would be holding for Graham at the restaurant that weekend. Per his mom, Graham never had prior interest in politics. Oh, this is, now this is getting good. Oh, here we go. But it was rather approached by an out-of-state group, quote, the same group that got mandam, mom-dani, end. Uh-huh. unquote.

When he told these approaches, he had no political experience, it had no idea what he would be, this is fabulous, by the way. This is content right here. What he would be doing. They reassured him that it didn't matter that they had a template for him to follow and that he was just the kind of guy they were looking for. Wow.

I assume this is because he's a rural Maine, born, and raised local business operator, specifically an oyster farmer, meaners have a soft spot for lobstermen slash fishermen and he's a veteran. By those standards, he should appeal to rural manors who are largely conservative in its Portland and the mid-coast region's coastal elites of controlling the vote, as John mentioned. Right.

I noticed that myself. I was curious how a random guy like this gets approached in the first place. And it turns out his mom was, is a DNC. delegates. This situation makes me wonder how many other supposed locally grown candidates and other parts of the country are just stooges funded by the same out-of-state group between Rhino Collins, corrupt Mills, Platner, the Nazi, and the rest of these names, I fear that all hope is lost. Pray for us. No jingles, no karma, love you, mean it. Well, 21060, by the way. That's good. I wonder how many more. Well, the squad is probably

all of them. Who is this out of state group? That's what we've got to find out. I mean, it was... Yeah, Summer should have pushed for the name of the group. Yes, I'm sure it was... Summer, go back there and have another meal. Same people who did the Democrat Socialist of America who had AOC literally auditioned for the gig. Yeah. And there's Eli the coffee guy with $210.30. That's because he always gives us $200 and then does the date. 10.30, get it? He says, not sure if you guys will have clips for this one. Apparently a truck full of lab monkeys infected with herpes hepatitis C and COVID crashed in Mississippi, and one of them is still on the run. You'd think we'd learn something from the last global science experiment.

Well, as it just so turns out, these monkeys could be dangerous. I do have the clips if anyone once. Yeah, let's play that clip. Because first they had them, then they didn't have them, and they had one, they didn't have one, then they had hepatitis, and they didn't. Here's the two clips. Tonight, the urgent search for dangerous research monkeys that escaped from the wreckage of a crash

on a Mississippi highway. We got 21 monkeys that was on this guy. Video showing several monkeys crawling in the grass. Heavily armed officers responding to the scene. Authorities say a truck carrying nearly two dozen Rhesus monkeys from Tulane University, overturned on Interstate 59 in Jasper County.

Here's one of the monkeys right here. There's one sitting right there. At least six monkeys escaping. Officials warning they might be aggressive towards people and were potentially infected with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID. They may have to neutralize something out here in minutes. And late today, police confirming all but one of the escaped monkeys had been euthanized for public safety reasons, adding they're still actively searching for that one monkey. Still on the loose. And then later they said,

Oh, they don't, don't worry. Don't worry, everybody doesn't have herpes, hepatitis, and COVID. Don't worry about it. None of that's true. Go back to playing. Don't let him bite you. Go back to playing your harpsichord, citizen. Everything's fine.

Yeah, time for monkey pox. Mpox vaccination, anybody? Linda Lopatkins up. She's in Lakewood Colorado. Hold on. I got to finish the note. Oh, I didn't know. Dude.

You were so excited to do your read. Like, well, I was ready to go. I was all, I had been kind of doing some breathing exercises. Simmer down. Eli, the coffee guy goes on and says, but now somewhere in the Delta, there's a monkey giving herpes to a raccoon thanks to some Jamoke with the California CDL. Yeah, there you go.

Oh, brother. He wants a, can I get, I love my truck and I love what I do? I love my truck and I love my truck. Well, I tell you ain't no joy like a lame warm boy.

You got karma. And there he is, everybody. Hollywood Bigwig, Dana Brunetti, proof that real producers in Hollywood listen to this show. He's from Golden Cloud Ranch in California. $200. He's a big spender.

And he says, still trying to, Still trying to financially recover from my last dinner with John, but luckily I recently received one of those rando checks. We refer to them as mailbox money, John. Since others keep doing switcharoos and loading me up with crap associate producer credits, this is also a switcheroo. It goes to one of the following, Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, Hamas, Hitler, or Jeffrey Epstein. choose one so it can be properly updated on IMDB.

Well, I choose Putin. What do you want to choose? Yeah, I was thinking Putin, too. Yeah. Adam, you've mentioned that people at your church listen, but I'm not hearing any donations from them, so please call them out as douchebags. Dochebag?

Did you think you were going to get me upset, Brunetti? Good try. Good try, Hollywood boy. Happy anniversary, 18th anniversary, boys. You're finally legal. Okay, I have to get to plug. Get back to plowing fields. Oh, okay.

Thank you. That was a reference to something I said. Yes. But thank you, Dana Brunetti. It's good to know that you're still listening. I know that we keep you sane in that insane world that you travel in. So he buys this ranch, which is big, by the way. Of course it is.

And there's gold on the ranch. Gold! And so he's got this gold, these gold mining, this coal mining gear. And he's already collected enough gold to. to make a couple of solid gold rings. A couple of movies. Well, a couple of movies.

No, not yet. But it's like, this is typical that some people have this kind of gladstone gander style of, you know, just fall. Byron's got gold on it. You can pay for the ranch. Yeah, I was thinking, someone approached me the other day about doing a movie, movie of my life.

And I thought, no, Brunetti should do that. We should do it. Like the kid stays in the picture, you know, with a, I'll, I'll do the, the voiceover and you're Ken Burns' effects and there's tons of footage and photos out there. That's what, I mean, there

you go. That's what you should do with his gold. Is make a movie about me. And yes. That's going to happen. And yes. You can get Scorsese to do the movie. There you go. Congratulations to these executive producers of 1812.

Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth. Oh, I almost Order. Shut up, Slade. Shut up, sleep. Oh, I almost forgot.

We have this one producer who is just adamant, adamant, adamant. It's 1812, 1812. It's an important episode. It's a very important number because of Chikovsky's 1812. I never realized this was Tchaikovsi's 1812 I'm sure you knew it yeah I did but where's the cannons

the cannons well there they are there it is it's almost over that's loud there they are it's a very right when it's performed

the idea is that the cannons usually are there on stage and it really becomes very damaging here we go is this what they do on the 4th of July fireworks yeah it's a fireworks song

yeah here we go big finish everybody Man, that guy had some good drugs. How do you write something like that? Those days are over. AI, make that for me. Show me that. That's good.

That was very good. Well, I suppose if you put all the classical music ever written into the corpus. Do you think? Well, you might be able to get something out of it. Speaking of that. Who's doing that? Is somebody doing that? I'm sure it's in Sunno.

There's so much classical music that you can put in there. Did you see the Grockapedia? The Grockapedia? I've seen the announcements for it. I've seen the write-ups about it. I have not actually gone to it. As far as I'm concerned, Gropedia is just GROC. No, no, no.

It's quite interesting. So if you look up no agenda, or you look up John C. DeVorek or Adam Curry, it's so extensive. It's, I mean, the corpus has so much about you, me, the show. I mean, it's thousands of words. And what's interesting about it, it has a lot of obscure things. and but in every single version of everything I looked up there's some things that factually are just completely wrong yeah absolutely they have to be completely wrong

and but it's not even that bothersome it's like wow that's a nice write-up I had quite a life I can die now it's like it's been nice knowing you well I did pretty good oh I didn't know I did that that's great I did pretty good brunetti turned that it turned my grocopedia into a move movies, you can do it. It's amazing. Here's something we predicted that would have. Actually, we didn't predict it. One of our producers predicted it. Get ready for discovery. Texas Attorney General Kent Paxton is suing the makers of Tylenol over claims the company

deceptively marketed the medication. The lawsuit claims the over-the-counter medication was marketed to pregnant women despite alleged links to autism in other disorders. This is the first lawsuit launched by the state since President Donald Trump, claimed last month that taking Tylenol while pregnant is linked to an increased risk of autism. However, there's limited evidence to suggest an association. Johnson & Johnson sold the drug for decades and its Consumer Health Division spinoff, Kenview, has been selling that drug since 2023. Canvue pushed back against the claims, calling it misinformation. I think this is the setup, man. This is the setup. This is where Tylenol comes in.

They say, you know what? You say it's us, but it's the vaccine companies. I think that's an interesting theory I think it's coming and I like the way Johnson and Johnson seemed to have predicted this somewhere along the line and dumped the product yeah into a spin-off. It's like what Monsanto did with Roundup. Yep. Which they panned off to Bayer. Yeah.

And now they've changed the formulation of Roundup. And what's in Roundup now is worse. Oh, well, that might explain this clip. This morning, a troubling investigation by the Washington Post finds cancer rates among young adults are rising fastest in the nation's corn belt, raising concerns that farm pollution could be to blame. Since 2015, America's top corn-producing states, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas have all seen an uptick in cancer cases among people ages 15 to 49, particularly kidney and skin cancers. But Iowa stands out with the fastest increase in the country. Experts say the state is a hot spot for cancer-causing agents. The nitrate levels in the Raccoon River are twice that of the EPA limit.

I don't think it's quite right that we have no regulations on how much fertilizer can be dumped in our watershed upstream. Studies show nitrate pollution from farming and livestock operations is contaminating Iowa's water and long-term exposure to fertilizers. Pesticides and herbicides has been linked to higher cancer risks. Environmental groups are now urging the state to strengthen its waterstores. standards. Agricultural groups worry additional rules for farmers would be costly and could cripple the industry. For now, researchers say they're determined to find out if chemical runoff from farms is, in fact, what's making people sick. We really need you to compare to bordering states and states that have similar exposures, specifically thinking about agriculture or industry.

Experts say better detection tools make it easier to diagnose cancer, but that alone doesn't explain my rates arising so sharply. It's the con. It's in the con. It's that roundup on the corn, you'd think. There's definitely something they're spraying. Hey, I got to know. You know, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's causing this.

You just have to know what is being sold. Exactly. But they seem to be baffled. I got to know. Oh, it's the nitrate runoff. They've always had nitrate runoff. It's never going to be no nitrate runoff. It can't be that.

It's something else. I got a note from Mark from the Walnut Grove podcast. Remember the Walnut Grove podcast? Yeah. That's about Little House on the Prairie. It's a fan podcast. Yeah, it's a fan cast. It's a fan cast.

Please don't email me. Everyone's like, oh, you love it too? I love Little House on the Prairie. Good God. And he said, you know, he bought us a domain name. This hasn't happened. in quite a while. People used to buy us domain names all the time.

Yeah. And we had Sean Hannity.com at one time, but then the producers, oh, I let it expire. It was so good to have Sean Hannity.com. He says with MS now's, imminent MS now, he bought us MSNowflake.com or MS Snowf, M Snowflake. Which I thought was very creative.

That is cute. Yeah. So thank you, Mark, the Walnut Grove podcast. Very nice. Let me get my clip list out. Oh, I do, you know, we had a, there was a quite a big hurricane that hit Jamaica. Yeah, I have the Melissa update here, but this is after it hit Jamaica.

I have an update from after as well, so I'll listen to yours first. Hurricane Melissa struck Eastern Cuba this morning as an extremely dangerous category three storm causing severe damage. Cuban authorities report that over 700,000 people have been evacuated in the eastern part of the country. By Wednesday evening, Melissa had weakened to a category two and moved into the Atlantic, heading toward the Bahamas with heavy rain and flooding expected.

Tropical storm warnings for the Turks and Caicos. The most dangerous conditions will be in the next few hours here as the center of Melissa moves through the Bahamas, storm surge inundation of four to seven feet above ground level near and to the right of where the center of Melissa is moving. Though winds have decreased, officials say dangerous storm surges and rainfall remain a threat as Melissa moves toward the Bahamas and Bermuda. At least 36 deaths have been reported across Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. In Jamaica, the storm knocked out power to more

than 600,000 residents, uprooted trees, ripped off roofs, and blocked roads in several parishes. One resident shared the terrifying experience as Melissa passed. Worst experience of my entire life. To see my place being flooded out, it was terrifying for me and my child. The water level reached me to my waist. I was stuck in my house. They had to break into my home to save me. Rebuilding in Jamaica will be a long-term effort, officials say,

as homes, hospitals, and infrastructure were heavily damaged, and access remains challenging. UN officials report that immediate relief efforts are underway, focusing on providing food, water, and other essential supplies. So I've been going to Jamaica on vacation for over 30, yeah, over 30 years. I've never been to Jamaica. Oh, I've done documentary. There's a documentary of me in Jamaica. People on the West Coast, we don't go there. Well, the last time I went was just a couple of years ago.

direct flight from Austin to Montego Bay. It was fantastic. And of course, they got rid of that flight, which is only three hours, like three and a half hours. It's perfect. But the thing with Jamaica is, and I would pretty much always go to this. I don't think I've ever been to a different place, always the same place. And the last time we went there, people who I'd seen 25 years ago were still there. So I consider them to be friends, you know, like, hey, David, how you doing? so I checked in before the storm hit I said hey man we're praying for you guys

hope everything's okay so here's the boots on the ground from Jamaica Mr. Corey I'm alive I'm alive I made it but houses are gone we are out of we're out of houses and everything it's Sir Corey it's serious

it's devastated I'm telling you I don't know what we're going to do we have no idea but you know but as long as we have life we will make it I have to come miles to get some internet so whenever i can get in touch with you again i will try all right take care thank you for thinking about me and my family appreciate it sounds pretty dire pretty bad well you know

what the democrats say what do the democrats say it's all the fault of uh trump and because he killed us a i d oh there it is yes of course that makes sense that makes sense Word of the year, according to Dictionary.com? They have a word of the year, too? Everybody has a word of the year. This is really disappointing. 6-7. Oh, no, that's not true.

Yes, yes. Well, that's lame. Of course it's lame. Dictionary.com has officially revealed its newest word of the year. 6-7 is the word of the year. Got a note from one of our producers. I'd like to give a quick homeschooling commentary, says Garbage Man, Mitch. On the 67 phenomenon, homeschooled kids that are not overly socialized with access to phones and social media don't suffer from this stupidity.

Yet. I'd like to give a loving shout out to our principal, my wife, Melissa, who is very pregnant with Human Resource Number Six. She is crippling nauseous and miserable So the older kids have been forced to step up and help more The other day our oldest nearly 12 was tasked with making soup entirely unaided There were mishaps as she sauteed vegetables and simmered bacon The potatoes were crunchy I have no doubt she'll compare techniques and recipes with grandma

Great Grandma and her mother when she can think of food again I suggest homeschooling accreditation as a future fundraiser Hmm. Seems to me that if you can award doctorates, then you are more than qualified to accredit our schools. The family that learns and no agendas together triumphs and stays together. Well, there's a thought. That's an interesting idea for promotion. I like that thought. So homeschooling. Well, of course, it only appears, they're not, I mean, everyone who listens to the show might want to be a Commodore. Everyone who listens to the show might want to have a Rando PhD. But not. everybody who listens to the show are homeschoolers. That's a very small portion of people,

but it might be just enough to do a short promotion sometime early next year. Okay. That garbage man, Mitch, we love you. Great idea. Excellent idea. And even if you're not a homeschooler might be pretty cool just to have one. Yeah. Hey, the trial is finally happening. Will we find out Is there a roving bit in the middle? After years of online attacks and malicious rumors, 10 people are on trial for sexy cyber harassment against French First Lady Brigitte Macron. Eight men and two women are accused of making false online claims

about Brigitte Macron's sexual and gender identity and suggesting that her 24-year-age gap with her husband Emmanuel Macron made her a pedophile. If convicted, the defendants aged from 41 to 60 years old each face up to two years in prison. Among them is Orillian Poirson-Atlan, a publicist known online as Zoe Sagan. Before his account was suspended, he was popular within conspiracy theory circles on X. The First Lady has since taken the case to the country's highest appeals court. The French case is a separate from a defamation lawsuit that the presidential couple filed in a Delaware court against the far-right podcaster Candice Owens, making similar unsubstantiated claims about Brigitte Macron.

Owens produced series titled Becoming Brigitte, obsessing over the first lady's gender. The Macron says that they plan to present scientific and photographic evidence to prove that the first lady is biologically a woman. Yeah. Scientific and photographic evidence. Oh, that'll be. I find it fascinating that certain people, and I would put Big Mike in this category, are targets of this sort of, it's a smearer. campaign, whether she's a male or not.

It's a smear campaign of some sort, and it's very interesting how it catches on because you could probably say the same. I mean, I think that Spanberger, whatever her name is, she looks like a dude to me, the one running for governor of Virginia.

You need to move to Fredericksburg with that talk. Everybody's a dude, according to people here. Taylor Swift, it's a dude. Taylor Swift's a dude. Another dude. Barbara Bush was a dude over and over again. Yeah, well, I think there's some, but, but it's like, why does some of them, why do some of these assertions catch on and other ones don't?

Well, do you have any theories? No, I have no theories on this. I think because it's just funny. It's funny. Well, it is, there's something funny about it. That's funny. But it's like, I think there has to be something about the person who's being targeted that is at some level

someone that's easy to dislike. Now, people love Michelle Obama. Not everybody. Not everybody, and I think she might be easy to dislike. Yeah. Well, I mean, they said the same about Barack. Well, with Barack Obama, see, he never. Well, maybe it's more of an insult to the guy.

Maybe the target is really Barack and Macron himself. Well, it's an insult to them. Well, Barack, I mean, man, but I think that was, you know, there's a lot of stuff about him being gay. I mean, that seems to be, like, pretty much true. And because of that, well, we don't know that. Well, we don't know that, but yet Larry, what was his name? Yeah, Larry, Larry, Larry, he died.

Larry Sinclair, who detailed it very. And love boy or whatever his name was. who was actually working in the White House. Remember that guy? What was his name? Love boy. It was like a lover. No, no.

His last name was love. It was... Yeah, his love. And he's a little very feminine black man. Yes, yes. Well, he wasn't little. He was a big dude. He wasn't as small.

Oh, I thought he was a little petite male. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, why does it stick? Because we're obsessed with nonsense. How about that? We are. Because that's just the...

It's true. We're obsessed. with nonsense. That's just who we are as a people. We're Americans. It's what we do. We go crazy. Well, it'll be interesting to see how Candace Owens' lawsuit goes. I don't know why she's on that kick. Well, I disagree with the report. It was not unsubstantiated. She had a lot of substance to her reporting. A lot. recently that that little bit came out about her name being registered to Jean-Michel

unless she pulls down her pants in court it'll never be resolved well even so let's go back to the the credit card the food stamp issue okay is this your last bit? I want to play this clip because this is an interesting clip

This is a Florida. This is a fraud clip. Oh, yeah. Which is a WTF clip of sorts. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm fumbling my cues. Kind of.

Yes. Walked in one by one. Some hung their heads. Others wore their feelings right there on their t-shirts. Today, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office announced an undercover operation they've been working on for months, resulted in more than 100 arrest warrants and close to 40 arrests. This is a huge problem, and we're like one of maybe three or four law enforcement agencies in the state of Florida that have decided to do something about this. And it has to do with just that.

Meal tickets in the form of EBT cards for low-income individuals being fraudulently used. One part of the investigation centered around Gerald Millis, a local restaurant owner who police say purchased EBT cards from people for 50 to 60 cents on the dollar, and then stocked as local pizza pros restaurant with food he bought, using the restaurant. those cards. We were able to determine that he used 53 different EBT cards at Sam's Club. Police say 55 people were also caught illegally selling their EBT cards to undercover detectives. A couple of them said, I'm headed to go get some rock cocaine. A beyond frustrating reality for taxpayers who today learned their hard-earned money is being misused. Yeah, all kinds of Social Security has.

always been controversial. Yeah, this whole thing, but this, what's interesting about this clip is this clip is from 2013. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I looked, I looked into this Manatee County stuff. They did this same staying operation in 2012. They did in 2013, and I can't find any evidence of them ever doing it again. Something changed. And I think they were, somebody came up to them and said, you've got to stop doing this. These cards are used. Yes, people are buying crack with them and whatever. This is what we want.

Well, how about this? When, because in the, I think the one big beautiful bill, I believe that there has been a slash of SNAP benefits, particularly qualification, which the states have to do just like the Medicare benefits. It's like, hey, we got to clamp down on this. There's a lot of fraud going on. We've got to figure this out. But it is my suspicion that the big box stores like Walmart, Target, and others who also sell food,

that their prices are just like insurance, that they're kind of artificially inflated because of this money, just the way like tuition. Now, once we got student loans. loans handled by the government, tuitions went through the roof. Once we got Obamacare, which has subsidies for health insurance,

insurance goes through the roof. You have this prolonged EBT snap, which is going directly into mainly Walmart, big box stores. It may actually artificially have inflated the price and it may become a problem for them. Does that make any sense?

Well, I don't know if the prices are or hire at Walmart, but the fact that the stores are the target, in fact, the people complaining about losing their SNAP benefits are all mentioning they're going to rob from Walmart, with very few exceptions. It's always Walmart that's the target of the robbery, and Walmart's taking action, which we mentioned earlier in the show. All I, it's possible that there's some collusion going on, but it seems to me that, and maybe that's if it wasn't for these cars

Walmart wouldn't even be in business, that's always possible. Yeah. And there are examples of people who've talked about this one woman who was on, I don't have the clip, I get too many of these clips, you get irked. Some woman complaining and she's, a lot of

these women are bragging about how they're using the system and one of them says, I bought a rice cooker using the EBT card which I think is actually not a bad idea. But at the same time it's supposed to be for food only, but she managed to do that

and she did it through either Walmart or Costco. I bet you's Target, because Target started selling food, which I always thought was strange. Target didn't use to sell food. Now they have a whole grocery division. That's true. That's an interesting point.

And you're right. And Target's never, to me, seemed like a food store. And every single time I've been in a Target, it's empty. I've never seen it except on Black Friday, but I don't go out on Black Friday, but it always seems empty to me. I'm like, how do these people stay in business?

Never seems busy. There's something fishy about it. We're on the case. Your no agenda detectives are on the case. Yeah, we won't figure it out either. No, but the, but the fact that they had this scam and this reports from 2013 and there's nothing sense. And it could have been, obviously, this is the way you go. You're some poor guy and you got a card that you get somehow and you can sell it for, you know, 50 cents on the dollar

and have some cash, which is king, by the way. This has to be going on everywhere. Give me one last clip, Johnny Boy, and then we'll get out of here. We got a lot of fun stuff to do. We've got, we've got peace prizes to hand out. We've got, And great AI end of show mixes, except for Oisteem Berger, who is the real deal. He's the real deal. He's the real deal. And of course, your tip of the day. And the first time I'll be reading the donors $50 and above.

I'm very excited about my new task. Well, let's just go to Shutdown Blather on NTD. The Republican leadership thanked essential workers who are still on the job without pay. They pointed out that the largest. Union of Federal Workers, as well as the National Association of Air Traffic Controllers, have come out this week urging Democrats to pass the short-term funding bill. Meanwhile, Democratic leadership is accusing Republicans of refusing affordable health care for Americans. They say Republicans, including President Trump, should come to the negotiating table on health care.

I have a request from our air traffic controller producers. We have a lot of them. which I always love that. I've never actually spoken to one on the radio, at least not one that's going, hey, in the morning to you. They do that with each other and other pilots. ITM did you say.

ITM, yeah. We were supposed to go on vacation for five days in three weeks from now just before Thanksgiving with some friends of ours and the women folk. are very worried that we will not be able to return or that there may be an issue with flights or that it's just going to be basically a nightmare.

Yeah, I think they're probably correct. And so there's consideration of canceling said vacation, which I'm okay with. I mean, I'm happy. You can always go on a vacation. Can always take a vacation. But it's not like, can always, yeah, I mean, we're podcasters. We can do whatever we want.

Got you take a vacation whenever you want. We can do a vacation whenever we feel like it. I'd like to know what our ATC producers are feeling. Like, will there be a real? I mean, I'm seeing news reports, but, you know, who knows? So let me know. Let me know what you think. I think it's technically illegal for ATC to not show up for work,

but there's sick days and there's all kinds of stuff. Yeah, they can take. They have time out. You have it, when you work for the government, you always build up a lot of free time. And they deserve it, by the way. They deserve it because it's a tough job. It's a challenging.

In fact, I'm too old to be an air traffic controller, I found out. I'm like, I'll step in. I can talk on the radio. I can step in. I can step in. Come on November Delta. Hey, uh, full and four seven, you got a bogey on your left. Bogie.

it was a huge success here's the next one it's just totally freaky Okay. And this one? This isn't real. This cannot be real. Kind of like that one. It's cute. And then... These people are deeply, deeply weird.

Come on, man. Come on. That's a good one. No, that's no good. It's just disparaging. I don't think that's good. Disparaging for the show. All right. What do you have? I got the classic. Okay, here we go. Yep. The show is too long. And of course, that is the winner. But before we get to the long part, here's John's tip of the day. advice for you and me

just the tip with J-C-D and sometimes Adam. Yeah, the show is too long. Okay, this is a very interesting tip. And anyone who adopts this process and starts using these things will forever use them. That's a way to go.

Okay. It's called, and there's a couple brands, but the one I'm going to cite is the Wago, W-A-G-O. And I'm talking about the Wago-Liver Nuts. Lever Nuts. Which is also called a waggo lever connector. And these are little devices that you, you know how when you splice wires, you tend to take the two wires, you've got two wires, you want to slice them together.

You put them against each other and you twist and twist and turn them around. Then you put some electrical tape around it and you've got your wire spliced. Wait, wait, don't you have one of those orange things you twist on top of it? You could, but it's nothing compared to these little orange things, which are, you open the levers, you stick a wire in one. side of wire and the other flip the levers down to think solid rock solid it's the one of the greatest little for anyone who works with wiring this is and is not a pro and you don't want to solder the wires this is the way to go this is a very interesting product very good product

people should all what are they called again the lever nuts w a g o lever nut lever nut lever nut i want to take a look at this product waggo lever nut series 220 oh Okay. And now, when have you recently been putting wires together? When you have a fixture in the ceiling, this is the perfect time to use them because once you use, because you've got wires you've got to deal with over your head and the ceiling. No, no, no, no. You want these things. Oh, this is good. Oh, wow. They even have the 221 series for hazardous locations.

And the thing is that these things are also built like little Legos so they can click together. That is what I would call an outstanding tip of the day. Ladies and gentlemen, find them all at tip of the day.net. Creatifies for you and me, just a tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Burnettie.
